Top notch podcast and excellent guests. Subscribe and listen even if you are outside this “space”
Auren is an incredible interviewer! Absolutely hooked!
Actually insightful and not just opinionated garbage like a lot of other founder/tech/VC pods.
Auren and his talented guests talk all things data and business, but it’s so much more than that! It’s true that you’ll find actionable advice and tangible tips that are relative to any stage of your career, but you’ll also find the inspiration and insight to grow as a human being. Thanks so much for putting out such a spectacular show Auren - keep up the great work!
