Josh - you aren’t the smartest in the room. Quit boasting about all of what you know and your accomplishments and let the people on your show TALK. Shawn Ryan is successful because he is talking less than 5% of the show. Ask more questions and let them speak instead of always adding to what they say, f me.
Insightful and impactful conversations, always great to tune in. Josh is a treat to listen to!
Whether you’re well established as a restauranteur or just getting started carving out a profitable niche that’s ready to grow, this is a must-listen podcast for you! Josh does an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of building a thriving business you can be proud of with leaders who’ve actually experienced success themselves. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

Love it. Great guest, very pertinent info.
Josh you are just awesome! Thanks so much for a fun interview! Keep the faith! Stay safe! Max
