  • A colossal waste of time

    Listened to the episode with the Suno CEO. Zero critical questions, plenty of admiration. It felt more like a fan interview than a serious conversation. Not inspiring at all—just a colossal waste of time.

  • One of my favorite podcasts

    I always press play when I see a new For Starters episode. The entrepreneurs have such different backgrounds and experiences but share in common that they are changing the world. Alexa von Tobel is the perfect host, asking the tough, honest questions while allowing the guest to respond without interrupting. I love the nuggets here and there of Alexa’s incredible experience— she is very humble and fun to listen to!

  • Alexa listens

    Alexa is very well spoken and, most importantly, she listens to her guests. I find that many other podcasters ask a question and then interrupt. Alexa is concise and then listens to learn from her guests. Very refreshing!

  • A Must-Listen Podcast

    Alexa von Tobel does a great job of casually interviewing founders of highly relevant companies. Her own entrepreneurial experience allows her to gain great practical takeaways from these founders that can be applied to our daily lives. I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in the entrepreneurship world or anyone who wants to be more informed!
