    Josh is skilled at keeping it humorous and casual while managing to stay on course and deliver some interesting insights. I’ve often found business podcasts to be stilted and self- conscious, but this one comes naturally. The authentic yet measured approach makes it an easy listen and sneaky way to hear lots of insider perspectives.
