This is one of the most well-researched and thought-provoking entrepreneurship podcasts I've ever listened to. You can tell how much research and thought goes into each episode. Each time I listen I come away with new ideas and questioning (in a good way!) what it means to be a business owner in the online space. — 5-Star Review
