I like the show, but they just can’t help blathering about American politics and how fast and wide the sky is falling. It would be better to create a separate podcast for Australians who feel empowered to opine on American values and keep this show about practical startup perspectives.
We all have it within us to be the best. The Startup Podcast is a must-listen for anyone in the startup ecosystem — whether you're a first-time founder, seasoned entrepreneur, or just startup-curious. The hosts bring a sharp, no-fluff approach to breaking down what it really takes to build and scale a successful startup in today’s landscape. Why change what works? And Chris saves us the heavy lifting.
In the latest episode one of the hosts exposed themself as an anti-democracy Chinese shill. If you want incredibly stupid america-first worldview (except multiplied by -1) that ignores everyone that was genocided by china, this is for you and your baby-killing comrades.

As someone who’s led product and engineering teams in fast-paced startups, I’ve seen firsthand how attention can make or break momentum. The way Ben breaks down the seven triggers of attention was super insightful—and immediately got me thinking about how I frame product pitches, hiring outreach, even internal comms. Yaniv and Chris kept it real and practical, which I always ... more
