  • Fantastic team fantastic content

    Title says it all. Madison and Claudia and Michelle are incredible hosts and hypewomen. Guests include great product leaders/founders that do a great job unraveling the world behind the stuff we use every day.

    Caveat: I really like the room's hats so consider this bias before getting a hat yourself
