I can’t listen to this guy, can’t stand his voice, he’s just so annoying and a disgusting host
Check out the episode titles. They are related to diverse popular topics of the day (big tech, new tech, news), but not really about startups.
Absolutely, positively, 100% the best startup podcast out there! More valuable than a 4 year Computer Science degree if you really want to know how to build, operate and run a company. The Unicorn of startup podcasts 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
These guys are A1! I’ve been listening for almost 3 years now, and I can confirm the show is gold. The content they discuss is diverse, but they always discuss things related to the startup ecosystem in almost every episode. One thing I’ve really appreciated more and more is their talent for having engaging discussions with startup founders; you can tell they care.
Living in the Bay Area, you always around start up “culture” and everyone is a techbro & they seem so full of it.
But listening to Jason (& Alex now) has been such a huge positive. His ability to cut through the noise and make sense of the signal is almost ‘superhuman’ 😉
I’ve learned so much and has made me so much smarter on the whole eco system.
Keep up the good work brother !
