  • Amazing Podcast

    In my view, Mike is the foremost thinker on the qualities that define exceptional entrepreneurship and enable companies to reach billion-dollar scale. This podcast is the best one out there to teach entrepreneurs and investors what it takes to build or invest in one of those companies. The guests are outstanding, and the topics are cogent, practical, and valuable. The podcast is outstanding.
