A Home Run from Rob and Sherry
I've been listening to Startups for the Rest of Us for years. I was thrilled to hear that Rob and his wife Sherry were starting a new podcast. I can tell already that Zen Founder is going to be a long-term must-listen show in my podcast client. I've already personally benefited from the retreats episode and can't wait to see what else they cover.
Rob and Sherry bring together Jedi-like mind control and ninja startup wisdom
Just finished episode 4 on Face Punching procrastination. I'll revisit this great episode every 6 months or so to make sure I'm on track. Looking forward to more great content. Sherry and Rob bring a whole life approach to making sure the urgent doesn't get in the way of the important, like family. If you are listening, you should be.
so far so good
really enjoyed the first few episodes and have already learned about some new tools (simplenote!)
