  • I’ve listened to both seasons (two as of now) and I’m quite impressed. There aren’t many podcasts on the complexities of developing a marketplace and I definitely learned a lot. I’m only giving 4 stars because I think Sejord can raise his interviewing chops a bit, not ask the same questions of each interviewer (though I agree it’s interesting to understand how they each got liquidity) and maybe get a guest interviewer to assist. That said… love it and keep them coming!

  • Insightful, interesting and SO relevant!

    I’m just entering the world of marketplaces and this podcast has allowed me to learn so much from the successes and failures of industry insiders.

    Lost track of the number of times I said ‘that’s the exact challenge we’re facing!’.
