So I was pretty lost drinking from a firehouse with all the new AI stratifies and tools until I found The Startup Ideas Podcast. Boom. Thanks Greg!
Nothing of value is created here, only trying to parasitically latch on to what you hope is the next big thing, not to create a better world, but only to better yourself.
This is the best startup podcast I’ve ever listened to and you guys are doing an outstanding and phenomenal job. Keep up the good work. I’ll be subscribing to your recommended platforms, services and products in in the very near future.
This episode is torture. Howie must have said “like”’ over a million times! Makes the episode unlistenable and he loses all his credibility as a business person as he has a middle school vocabulary. One sentence had 5 “likes”
So, so happy to have stumbled across this show. Greg is now my constant workout buddy. He’s inspired me with so many practical ideas as I, a non coder, am about to bring my first product to market. Could t have done it without him
