“This podcast is one of my favorite recent discoveries. I like how Ben and Chris are transparent in how they have been growing their products. For that alone, you’re already getting valuable insights.”

“I love tech and I love people. This podcast has the best of both. Ben Orenstein is ever-entertaining but always digging for the gold his interview subjects bring with them. Always honest and often surprisingly personal -- which I intend as the greatest compliment. Keep bringing it!”
