So I am here to correct that. Christian is not only incredibly hilarious and entertaining but also does (and conveys) an impressive amount of research for every episode, easily making this one of the best podcasts out there. It’s also a feat to make me so interested in things that u... more

  • a perfect podcast

    I absolutely love this podcast. The topics are wide-ranging and surprising every time they drop a new one. The host and guests make great points without it feeling preachy or dense and the stories of the businesses are interesting and well-told. There is some funny banter but the pod is also very informative AND easy to follow while multi-tasking. The hosts are having a good time while also not making too much fun of serious situations and I always learn something new. So excited for the new sea... more
