  • Cringe Worthy

    Sadly, a truely cringe worthy podcast, cohosts, interviewees and callers spend so much time sucking up to Reid and telling him how great he is it’s impossible to listen to it. A real pity.

  • Mix of politics and business

    Listened from when the podcast was first available, through end of 2024. Started out strong and focused, sharing many lessons and nuggets of wisdoms from entrepreneurs and business leaders alike. But in recent years the left-biased agenda became more and more transparent, and many episodes became more about making political statements than sharing true business-scaling acumen. Thank you for these years of learning, but time for me to move on.

  • More sales pitch than mastery

    I used to love this show a lot. It was must read in my weekly work. It lused to be facing and overcoming a problem. But now it has become more of a sales pitch for the new startups. It is a great way to set up awareness of your product, but not if you really want to learn about how to master the scale.
