  • Easy listening and a fun way to learn

    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.
