  • Better Than Harvard Business School

    I love Masters of Scale and especially Jeff Berman as host. (Reid, I love you too but Jeff’s voice and questions are so comforting)

    I don’t know another way you’d be able to get a glimpse of the inside of successful companies like Chomps, Anastasia of Beverly Hills and Liquid Death and their scaling journey, and more importantly inside the minds of their founders. I’m grateful for the inspiration and the instruction as I’m scaling my company. Thanks for creating this show and letting me listen... more

  • 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.
