What listeners say
Finally a business podcast where the guest actually says how much money they make. No ads for mattresses, no forty minute intro.
I listen to this on the drive between jobs. It is the only one where I have pulled over to write something down.
The episode on firing your biggest customer genuinely changed how I run my books. Six months later and I am not exaggerating.
Long, unedited, and better for it. You can tell nobody is trying to sell you a course at the end of it.
