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!
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
