  • Swearing

    Good content but a lot of unnecessary swearing. The host should cut back on swearing as many young people are tuned it to the podcast.

  • Hoping for better

    Had this channel stewing in my app for a while. Decided to listen to the Rumarocket episode. 🤦‍♂️

    Too much shrill.

    Too much cussing.

    Too little substance.

    Cringing most of the time.

    Minus the host, this could have gone farther.

    Anyway, will try this again for the sake of knowing more from the guests. Hopefully the host will exercise more restraint and put on proper decorum.

  • I love to learn from other entrepreneur’s successes and failures

    I listen to Hustleshare when traveling to maximize the use of my time.

    It’s a great way to learn from other people’s experience and to stimulate your own brainstorming about how to apply what you learned to your own life.

  • Finally!

    A podcast that shares the stories of the unsung heroes. The hard workers who are not always in the lime light but burning the midnight oil creating and innovating in the Philippines, Asia, and the rest of the world.
