Customer Reviews
Great resource
Bob, Patrick. I just finished listening to this and I REALLY ENJOYED IT! I like the shorter, more structured format, I LOVED the interview, and the Microsoft tip at the end was framed in a way that made me want to listen to it. Congrats on such huge improvements in just one session, and thanks again for putting this together. I’ll be sure to subscribe on iTunes for the future podcasts.
Great Interviews
As most reviews have said this is podcast is a great resource for software entrepreneurs, or those considering going down that path. I don't understand what motivated the review claiming that Bob Walsh's interview style is "unprofessional". Bob does respectfully challenge the positions of his guests but this adds to the value of the show and is done in a way that usually results in the guest adding more depth to important points that would otherwise be glossed over.
Good & Informative Podcast.
Personally, I enjoy listening to their podcast, as they dive into a wide range of topics, and though some topics seem a bit boring, the overall majority of their content is interesting. Give it a listen to if you are considering or in the process of starting up your own Micro ISV.
