  • Industry Slop

    Started off interesting, back when Musk would occasionally reply to some of his posts and his page actually got engagement on X.

    How to burn your “brand?” Hire two incredibly off-putting hosts, one of whom rarely speaks (from within the industry, of course), transition to a newsletter that seems more like an ad platform than actual news, and host interviews that are really just sales pitches.

    Started out as a cool podcast. It’s just turned into the person being interviewed bragging about themselves.

  • Time well spent

    I recently started listening to the show and now look forward to listening daily. The only downfall to listening during my commute is the inability to take notes. I started listening a second time to jot down notes and how I want to apply some of the things shared on the show. Thanks for a great product, keep up the great work CDG team!
