I love how From the Ground Up with Diana Ransom highlights the real challenges behind building a business. The conversations are honest, practical, and always leave me feeling inspired!!
I was a big Inc Uncensored fan, and a big fan of Inc in general, but this is the best podcast Inc has ever put out. Amazing guests, polished hosts, always engaging!
Love how granular the hosts get with guests, as they dig into pertinent subject matter. I learn something new even with topics I think I know backwards and forwards. Highly recommend!
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!
To see the continual insights brought by Inc is a joy and look for the future guest they will bring on. Many blessings to all 🌎🌎🌎
