  • Decent Pod

    Great guests and good insights. Dan asks brill questions but with more prep and focus the conversations would be even better. The conversational balance really needs to be weighted more to the guest. Maybe even a tighter edit would improve that. Overall decent little pod! Thanks guys.

  • Awesome business podcast

    I stumbled across this podcast looking for an interview from the chefs at Fallow, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Dan’s interviewed a remarkable array of business owners, and his casual style lends itself to making his guests seem natural and relaxed. This podcast is worth listening to even if you’re not in the restaurant industry. There’s a lot of good lessons about branding, marketing, and the struggles of being a founder.

Q: What was the apex moment of the Cadbury/Mondelez exit process?

Q: How should a creator approach packaging content for browse environments like YouTube, as opposed to search-focused optimization?
