Customer Reviews
Insightful & Thoughtful. Not to be missed.
Compelling Podcast. I was really glad I listened to it.
Interesting and Accessible
I hear this question come up all the time from anyone trying to promote their own business, from local window cleaning to int'l commerce... This is an interesting, accessible way to get some good insight on the subject. (esp. since I am far from an expert on it myself)
Great for aspiring entrepreneurs
Mac does a great job of finding and interviewing approachable entrepreneurs and telling their unique success stories. A great podcast for anyone looking to build a MVP or get some relevant examples of how to get started.
