Netherlands4 months ago - Besf 15 mins in founder content
Nathan gets founders to say the quiet part out loud - real ARR, real churn, real margins. No fluff, just data. I’ve benchmarked more from this podcast than most investor decks I’ve read.
Apple Podcasts5adibathlaUnited States5 months ago - Gets right to the meat of a company’s story
Nathan cuts through the fat and gets right to the meat of a company’s growth story. No fluff, no chit chat to skip through - he goes straight for the parts that investors and other entrepreneurs want to know.
Apple Podcasts5Robyn555United States5 months ago - Nathan keeps it real
Nathan doesn't let you hide. He pushes on the numbers and if you don't have them he'll call you out. I went on as a guest and walked away sharper because of it. If you're a founder building something real and you want to hear how other founders are actually doing, not the LinkedIn highlight reel, this is the one to listen to.
