Anshuman is a wonderful interviewer, and each episode feels like being welcomed into a niche community by one of its members. With grace and goodwill, this podcast tells the story of innovators and entrepreneurs who are often overlooked and undervalued.

Anshuman has such an inviting voice. These interviews feel like sitting closely with a good friend in a familiar place. Thoughtful but not chalk-full of information, just calm intellectual emotional journeys through each story and I appreciate this podcast very much. Well done.

He asks the right questions and is calming to listen to. I really enjoyed this new season

There’s a lot I love about this show. Each episode contains a fascinating look into a particular niche business, especially focusing in on businesses run by people whose voices are typically minimized due to their race, national heritage, gender identity, sexual orientation, size, etc. But what I value most about this show is how it challenges its listeners to reconsider the very terms of ‘success’ and how we orient ourselves (and might reorient ourselves) to such an amorphous concept. Added bonus: Anshuman’s voice is as smooth and rich as an affogato on a hot summer day.
