Fantastic podcast for anyone raising! So many great insights in all the episodes. Highly recommended
Extracting the most valuable advice from VCs and tech executives has helped shape my decision-making and saved me time as a first-time founder.
Just started listening to Adam’s podcast recently and can’t stop listening. He interviews a plethora of successful people, each with their own unique background, at a length that allows me to listen to a few or just one when I’m on the go. Looking forward to more!
Been listening to Adan’s work for about two years now and love it. He’s got a to the point approach that works so well to give you the top info in bite sized chunks. I’m a big fan
Adam does a great job of finding top VCs and CEOs that have been there before. I like how each episode is under 15-minutes and about one unconventional tactic or trend. Great stuff.
