  • Love podcast sammi

    In this last episode there was a ton of discussion of going from short form socials to long form podcasts and I just want to say I LOVE the podcast. It gets so much more in depth, I can listen in the car, and I think you conduct great interviews. I know it takes a lot more work for less return, but I really appreciate it!

  • Thorough and Articulate

    When I listen to Sammi break down a story I feel like I am listening to a thoughtful, thorough, and entertaining academic. She is so sharp and careful not to overstate things. She has a knack for picking the best things to discuss and keeps her content both interesting and informative. I am an attorney and she makes me wish I studied business! Luckily for me, I can learn a lot from her content. Keep up the incredible work, Sammi!

  • Relevant, succinct, and timely!

    Sami, thanks for your show. I love that there is a mix of long and short shows and your topics are always on point and interesting! You get to the point quickly, always have a clear throughline, and I’m always left thinking about new angles.

    Also… from one ex-Amazonian to another - you took all the best from the company, “raised the bar”, and are bringing your audience the brilliance of your instinct and know-how! :)
