United Statesa year ago - Doesn’t feel authentic
The conversations aren’t very practical but it also feels over-edited and unnatural.

Great knowledge about the PE industry. On top of that there are some really inspiring stories being told on this podcast. The “life hacks” portion is a fun tidbit that many of the episodes have. I look forward to each episode. And this is from someone who normally listens to crime podcasts. Keep up the good work!
