  • Stories behind the hustle

    Tamar digs into the unfiltered realities of entrepreneurship, like building a business from scratch, stumbling, and then finding your niche. He gets into personal growth, mistakes made along the way, and inspires you to keep pushing forward. I found the show vulnerable and relatable, with some opportunities to improve audio quality (especially the teaser).

  • A no nonsense educational show

    It seems no matter where you go on a podcast platform you will find a podcast show about business making the podcast market saturated with business podcasts however, this podcast after 190 something episodes maintains a 5.0 rating I found it extremely educational, interesting and enjoyable I even picked up a few pointers for my own business The only thing that I would ask Tamar about is why do you sound like you’re in the bathroom for your intro, other than that, you have a great show.
