“I’ve worked in tech for nearly two decades and admittedly didn’t really know Joe’s background. He’s an inspiring, ultra successful, young leader that I find very interesting to listen to. Thanks for doing this Joe and keep up the great work!”

“I like the guests and topics but the host is insufferable. He interrupts *constantly* and barely lets the guest finish their thought. So rude! If he wants to hear himself talk that much, then the podcast shouldn’t have an interview format.”

“I’ve heard a lot of scam colleges promise to find jobs for graduates or money back. But the jobs they guarantee is at or near minimum wage, they don’t pay enough for the students to pay back the tuition.”

“My only request would be that Joe let the experts speak. He is constantly stepping on their toes mid sentence to repeat what they were going to say anyway.”

“I have listened to thousands of interviews and have never heard an interviewer interrupt their guest so quickly and frequently to try to sound smart. I came here to specifically listen to Balaji speak, and got some ‘interviewer’ not let the guest finish any sentences before talking over them to...”Read full review »

“With so much negativity and pessimism becoming the norm in this country, it’s so refreshing to listen to these men and woman talk about what makes America a unique and wonderful place. A podcast like this was seriously overdue. Can’t wait for subsequent episodes.”
