“This is probably my favorite podcast (and I listen to a lot). There is more value in one hour that Will provides to his listeners than any other podcast, webinar, lecture. Will has guests on that have gone through the challenges (including personal trepidation) of breaking out of the 9-5 slog and...”Read full review »

“This is the single most valuable practical source out there for searchers. HBR and BTB are great for the foundational academic knowledge but Will is able to get cut through the ‘prestige’ and get genuine responses from his guests about the highs and lows of searching. I highly recommend!”

“The host, Will, is exceptional, with an equally exceptional pronunciation of business’s most important term:
ebitDAAHH
not ebitDUH 😒😪
e-bit-DAH 🤩🥳
certainly not Cash Flow (gross who needs that)”

“One of the hosts participates in the fun trend of over annunciating the DA in EBITDA and the cringiness takes the rating from a 5 to a 3. I’m sorry that’s my final rating. The over emphasized final syllable must stop and it most stop now. ebitDAAAAAAAAA”
