  • Bingeworthy startup advice

    Deeply relevant and valuable advice for startups from two guys who don’t mince words. A blast of fresh air in a noisy world, I’ve been recommending this show all over the place. For the first time in my life I heard someone describe *exactly* why I find so much of sales cringy as a founder, and why I’ve avoided it… they nailed it, cracked it open, I saw light, and broke the dam, hallelujah!

  • Critically important concepts

    For instance “Buyer pull vs. seller push” is not just business wisdom—it’s an essential life lesson. This podcast nails it in an easy to digest style

Q: How do you approach a fundraise such that the VC would be weird not to invest in you?
Construct a narrative that makes the magnitude of the opportunity obvious and shows how unhinged your approach is.
'Weird if it didn't work'
