  • New favorite biz pod!

    Max is truly a breath of fresh air when it comes to business podcasts! He does his research, has a great sense of humor, and every interview feels like he and the guest are old pals. I listen to a lot of business podcasts for work and this is truly one of the best.

  • Real Connection With Guests

    It’s clear that Max prepares and really cares about connecting with his guests. The interviews flow and resonate with storytelling and character development (I know that probably sounds funny but there is a sense of knowing the guests by the end of the interview)

    I listen to a lot of small business podcasts, and the Wild Business Podcast is a weekly listen. He has great guests — my favorite episodes were Dal LaMagna from Tweezerman, and Scott Dikkers from the Onion. And my episode, published today!
