  • Love it, but…!

    I love the podcast, but I kindly suggest investing in a higher-quality microphone, priced between 50-100 USD. The current static noise makes it challenging to hear the content clearly, requiring the surrounding environment to be extremely quiet. A better microphone would greatly enhance the listening experience.”

  • Packs a punch!

    The engaging hosting style of Hugh, quality of the guests he has on, and the strategies and tactics that are covered in such a short amount of time, all make Dry Powder a true standout. Not everyone has 30-60 minutes but everyone can find 10-20 and I promise you won't regret spending that time here. Thanks so much for putting out such a valuable resource, Hugh - keep up the great work!
