Stephen and David have a wealth of knowledge that they effortlessly weave into entertaining nuggets that any business or entrepreneur should pay attention to.
I absolutely love listening to this show and have learned so much!
I love a good business origin story, and these guys are masters at this craft. Extra credit for telling the stories of brands of my youth (Cabbage Patch Dolls, Slinky, Silly Putty), but I love some the newer stories as well (Etsy, Dry Bar Blow Out, Liquid Death). Great for business development inspiration, regardless of your line of work.
I just found this podcast (saw it mentioned on a friend’s Facebook) earlier this week and now I’m bingeing! It’s a great way to learn the history of businesses with lessons to apply. I really like the banter too. I’ve listened to about 20 episodes at this point. So far my favorites are Mary Matilda Harper (really how is it possible we all don’t know about her?????) and Smirnoff. I can’t wait to catch up more. Thanks for the great podcast.
Awesome story telling!
You have probably heard of some of these stories before and that is why they are worth repeating, but the way these 2 guys break down the pathway to success and how you can apply it to your business is second to none. They are short and power packed. I have really enjoyed listening.
