  • Not Just Theory

    Love listening to Zack because he dives into a topic and comes out with actionable items a business owner can do to help scale their business. Its not just a bunch of cool theory that will take you months to implement becasue you need to figure stuff out; you can actually take what you learned and start applying it immediately.

  • Great Guest

    Loved your guest, Donnie Boivin. Very down to earth and enjoyed his story about learning not to be salesperson, but rather a person, when selling. People do want to do business with other people, but people they trust and respect.

    Leadership is an incredibly crowded space with a lot of wannabees. Zack is the real deal proven on the front lines of battle and also entrepreneurship. Looking forward to spending more time around Zack virtually and hopefully soon in person.

    One of the best conversations I’ve had in a long time, and it was thanks to my awesome host, Zack. He put me at ease, asked some great questions with an ear toward what his audience is interested in, and was an amazing listener. I have tremendous demands on my time (as we all do) but I never wanted this conversation to end ;)

  • Tactical strategy for an Artists brain

    I appreciate this podcast for its digestible and consistent delivery of inspiring and implementable strategies. Like many artists turned entrepreneur I’m great with the creative, but struggle with the linear day to day strategy it takes to grow and scale a business. I have found this podcast incredibly helpful in understanding concepts of operations, implementing true strategy, and having the mindset of a leader I need to serve my clients at the highest level.
