As a founder, so helpful to listen to the realness behind these brands and founders. Highs and lows.
As a serial intra and entrepreneur, How I Destroyed This is hands down the most relatable, entertaining, and insightful podcast for founders I’ve come across. The stories are raw, real, and packed with valuable lessons for anyone building or leading a business. The honesty and humor in each episode make it both inspiring and enjoyable. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking to learn from the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. It’s a must-listen!
This is an amazing podcast. These two fabulous women are incredible business women who have been through so many things and share their experiences in the rawest form.
I love how they drop a lot of knowledge within the very practical realm of business, while also sharing their humanity. They are very open in talking about their emotions, mental health, and internal experiences.
5 stars, highly recommend!!!
As a founder going through a similar journey I binged through all the episodes. The stories are raw, powerful, honest, and needed. Highly recommended.
What a breath of fresh air to hear a business podcast that isn’t all about wins and highlights. Carli and Tracy have such good chemistry, and they shine a spotlight on so many of the challenges entrepreneurs go through alone in the shadows. You don’t even need to be a business owner or entrepreneur to get something out of this show. 10/10!
