I am fascinated by Tony Hsieh and this story, but the music put under so much of the narration and interviews was so distracting, it made for an unnecessarily difficult listening experience. NATs, transitional elements I can get behind but the elements used did not make sense with what else we...Read full review »

So shallow. Very interesting story, but there is literally no investigation. Feels like an English person who has no idea of general pronunciations etc is reading a Wikipedia page. With she would have studied up a bit more.

Grating music plays the entire time while the narrator and guests speak. WHY!?

This shallow series is not it

Thank you and well done. Fascinating.

This was a riveting series that managed to capture the multiple facets of a brilliant mind. The Bonus Q&A was great, too, allowing a higher level analysis of what the Zappo’s work culture was a part of. Well done.

I understand the desire to create an environment of “happiness” - but over and over I was reminded that happiness is a by-product of a deeper life - one that is centered around faith; something bigger than self. It made me understand why millennials can be hopeless and disenfranchised. They keep...Read full review »

Talk about a witch hunt with an agenda. Couldn’t make it through the first episode. Some real “expose” like the head of education asked a VFA fellow for his opinion on charters vs public schools.

Overall the story is quite entertaining and interesting, trying to give a glimpse of who Tony was, his vision and goals were. However, in my opinion there are too many gaps in the story. Not enough is said about Tony, only brief childhood achievements. No real friends or family members to...Read full review »

I’m an artist with Anthropologie and this hit really close to home. Thank you!! I feel validated in my struggles. They wrote me up for saying I was “over spring already lol” when asked how I was feeling about spring display sketches on December 20th….hah!! It was unacceptable yet I’m supposed to...Read full review »

Fascinating story made boring and simplistic.

Excellent take down and dissection of the happiness bubble so many companies feel forced to try to emulate. The most insightful quote, “…there is no code for contentment”. A must listen for those who came to work, enticed by the free craft espresso latte beer machine on every floor, bean bags and...Read full review »

I will second the other reviewer who said it is a little unbalanced. They really spend a lot of time with people who have an axe to grind against Tony Hsieh. The most notable example was the episode about the young man, an employee, who took his own life. It was a tragedy, but there isn’t much to...Read full review »

I’m sorry but four episodes in I’m still wondering what is interesting about this story… am I supposed to care because I am hearing about how Zappos came to be? Am I supposed to care because I am hearing about Las Vegas being developed? What is the point of this story? Where is the scandal? ...Read full review »

Sorry if there are any typos, this was dictated This is a really good podcast, it does a great job of investigating a very interesting situation. In the beginning it is quite nuanced and looks at things from all sides. But, toward the end, it becomes fairly unbalanced. To be clear, when I say...Read full review »

I would love to hear this story but the background music is so distracting. I couldn’t listen for even 5 minutes.

Well researched and presented podcast. Interesting & informative interviews; very well presented; and easy to listen podcast.

The story is fascinating but the narrator does a terrible job of pronouncing words correctly. It becomes very distracting to listen to the story as she continues to mispronounce words.

Nastaran Tavakoli-Far’s way of diving right in and getting to the point is a really exciting way of looking into this weird tech titan as a savior thing that keeps popping up lately. I’m super excited for the rest of the series. Tony Tsieh is really interesting and Vegas is such a surreal...Read full review »
