  • Great, actionable learnings

    I just binge-listened to a bunch of Unchurned episodes and am loving them. There are so many business podcasts out these that lose my interest with how general and obvious their "learnings" are. Unchurned isn't like that - they cover high level concepts all the way down to specific tactics that I can try with my own biz. I feel like I come away with a must-do for myself from every episode. If you're serious about customer success, I highly recommend it.
