Impossibly thorough
These guys blow me away with every episode they publish. It’s unreal - almost unbelievable - how thorough they are. The Hermès episode is my fave. Just a breathtaking journey. I’m 45 minutes into the Microsoft episode and this is already giving the Hermès episode a run for its money.

I’ve listened to almost every episode and each one has something valuable in it to learn.
