  • Guests great, mark not

    The quality of guest is great - exactly the calibre you’d want to hear from on a podcast with this subject matter, across a good intersection of industries with honest insights. Mark asks stupid questions and bangs on about himself and his experience too much

  • Politics

    Your insight into the economy is very knowledgeable and astute, however because you vote for one party please don’t promote a future PM who has proven history and voted as the worst immigration minister ever, who has a long history of using immigration policy to divide deliberately and stoke division.

  • Just ok

    Some great guests but Mark talks about himself too much. It’s not about him it should be about the guests.
