- Love it!
Absolutely brilliant and refreshing. Keen is hilarious. But truthfully, if he ditched the chip on his shoulder he’d likely influence more thought leaders because he’s right about almost everything. Highly recommend, we’re hooked!

United Kingdom2 months ago - A little preparation goes a long way - wasted opportunity
They come on this show and they don’t have a real plan and it shows. I love keen’s books, but this podcast is terrible. Very unfortunate because keen is brilliant.

United States2 months ago - They confuse each other… and listeners
I wanted to love this pod, but they just talk over and past each other and often seem to confuse one another (and even their guests). I like some of the ideas, I wish they could structure their discussions better (and avoid plugs for their products/ models).
Apple Podcasts2Bizboi69United States4 months ago - Not well prepared
Last episode I listened about how banks work, hosts were confusing each other for most of the show. I feel if they planned their episodes more, listeners could find it educational or at least entertaining. The constant plug of their software as the key to finally understanding it all is also annoying.
