- Actually Useful Advice and Lessons Learned
I have notifications on for every episode while I navigate my own startup through the ambiguity of finding product-market fit.
Compared to this podcast, everything else seems to be more garbage than not. This is the highest caliber startup content you can find. It’s genuinely true when they say they skip the talking points to get to the heart of actually how to do this stuff.
I wish there were 1,000 episodes because I would binge that rather than sleep.
