  • Andrew is seriously the most genuine guy!!

    Not only is this show incredible wisdom executives but he’s so inspiring. He’s followed his dream and his passion and vulnerably talks about his journey. I love someone who can open up about their imperfections (I have a lot too!!). Definitely my new favorite as I binge old episodes. Thanks Andrew!!

  • The good stuff….

    Andrew dives deep into the good stuff: what’s really going on in peoples heads in growth? How do they deal with the emotional and psychological side? The stuff that business often glosses over gets talked about deeply.

    Andrew knows his stuff and his guests bring amazing content onto the show. Highly recommend to PMs, heads of growth, marketers, and really anyone trying to create valuable products.

  • Must listen for anyone in growth

    Highly recommend for anyone who works or wants to work in growth. Growth is a role that doesn’t have much of a playbook so it is so helpful to hear how other professionals navigate the role.

    Also super validating to hear you’re not the only one going through the troubles of growth.

  • A must-listen for growth leader

    Being a growth leader is a tough gig. It’s one of those disciplines where if you ask 10 people what growth is, you’ll get 21 answers! I love how Andrew gets real with growth leaders and shares not only their wins but also their failures. It’s one of my fav podcasts!

  • Human side of the growth discipline

    Loving this podcast. It’s becoming my virtual career mentor. As someone who recently landed in a growth role by accident, and works outside the traditional tech world, I don’t work have a network of growth-minded folks around me. This podcast is providing wisdom and building self-awareness that will truly help me grow as a person and as a growth leader.
