  • Inspirational

    I have followed this show for the last five years and have found it’s been quite helpful running my construction business. I have nothing but good things to say about it and recommend it to many I just have one complaint.

    I find it disingenuous when the host goes for a swear word and it’s bleeped out. I realize it has a clean rating but common’ we’re all contractors, we’ve heard worse. I’d suggest the host (current & past) either doesn’t use that language at all or doesn’t cover up the emotion ... more

  • Feeds on Drama - Not about Business

    Started listening to these podcasts for the business transformation stories and was blown away that the hosts feed on the drama of the guest speakers. What’s worse, is that they don’t validate if the information is true that their guests are saying. Painful to listen to.

  • So good! Makes me fake notes

    Definitely one of the most engaging and inspiring business development podcasts out there. I’ve been absolutely loving listening to it. The people interviewed are so inspiring, and Benji and Igor lead a great discussion. I would honestly even trust their ads if there were any. They don’t know me, but I know they support my growth by sharing what feels like secrets.
