  • Great InsightfulContent, hosts are overly self promotional though.

    Really love the interviews and the guests that the CPG guys bring on. It’s amazing what connections they have and how they’re able to get them on the show. They’ve built a solid platform.

    My only criticism is that the guys are wayyyy too self promotional (especially ay at the top of the show). They’re allowed to be proud of their work and their families, but it’s too much sometimes.

    Keep up the good work and practice some humility 🙂
