  • Loving this relaunch!!

    Inc. Uncensored was a fun listen, but I’m really thinking Inc.’s new From the Ground Up has potential. The co-hosts really listen to their guests and ask insightful questions. Everyone knows the journey of starting up a company is a tough one—and I hope they get into the real-life details of why and how that is!
