Greg’s comment at about 5:10 of bonus episode 436 available to Patreon subscribers about potentially “giving websites away for free” reminds me of my reflections on mid-market ERP implementation projects. In our case, both the customer’s transformation and their maximum potential lifetime value...Read full review »

I have read a few of Ron Baker’s books over the past 15 years. They started out having great ideas and I’ve implemented some of them. But over the years he’s become arrogant and spends more time bashing other models than providing real-life implementation ideas. I bought his latest book Time’s Up...Read full review »

Excellent podcast- knowing Ed personally he is always insightful and found him to be a deep thinker. This seems to be a good pairing and this is definitely worth a listen on the drive home!

Full disclosure. I have been a guest on the podcast. Value can be defined as how something is better with you or how it would be worse without you. I’m a much better business person having become a fan of this show. As a professor, researcher, and consultant, TSOE is my primary source of new...Read full review »

I embraced the concepts around fixed pricing and how they can apply to consulting. For years I only half heartedly believed these “concepts” until I actually put them into practice. Cut my number of customers in half. Doubled my income. When Ed and Ron talk I listen. Closely.

I have been a huge fan of Ron’s books for decades. The knowledge from his books have literally earned me millions of dollars in additional revenue. I don’t know why, but I just realized that Ron has a podcast! I just finished the first episode and this is now my favorite podcast. I am sooo...Read full review »

If you made it this far, then congratulations! You’ve discovered the Fountain of Truth! Seriously, Ron and Ed are able to distill and synthesize a body of knowledge that extends beyond the disciplines and time (wink). I now find myself listening and re-listening to the archives, and taking notes...Read full review »

While Ron and Ed were good and my dad was okay (Matthew), my favourite bit was Greg Kyte and when he talked about the book Ron and Ed wrote. Kind regards Aven Burgess age 10 (Matthew’s little kid) (Favourite daughter))
Aven Burgess via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/25/20
Ed and Ron are some of the deepest thinkers about business and the knowledge economy around. Every episode contains at least one mind-blowing takeaway and I’ve found myself continually refreshing my podcast app on Friday afternoon for the new episode. I only gave them 5 stars because the app...Read full review »

I had heard someone recommend Ron Baker, and I found this podcast because his name was on it. I was listening to the podcast when a voice said something like, “Have you ever stopped listening to a podcast because it had too many commercials? Of course not because you’re here right now. ” I...Read full review »

Have you ever listen to a podcast twice? I have, but have you ever listen The Soul of Enterprise twice? Many times. Listen, learn, and enjoy. Thanks Ron and Ed for have a great conversation that’s worth listening to twice.

I’ve been listening for a couple of months to Ron and Ed on my daily walks.

I could be Ron and Ed’s #1 fan - never miss their weekly show. Quality interviews and for their monthly Friday wrap ups, a fascinating selection of topics. Recommend this to all inquiring minds.

TSOE is one of my favorite podcasts. Ron and Ed tackle many different business topics, always from a unique perspective. They do their research and apply what they learn using their own mental frameworks. Well, we all do that, but their frameworks are fascinating. Listen with curiousity and...Read full review »

As a newly minted accounting graduate, it’s hard enough to keep up with the learning curve of entering public accounting, let alone get ahead of it.

Listening to TSOE right from the beginning and practising it since 1998, I think I have a basic idea about value pricing. I also own virtually all the important books on the topic ranging from Alan Weiss, through Ron and Mahan all the way to Reed Holden. But episode #182 on the value conversation...Read full review »

RWS15601 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/17
I have learned more from TSOE than all the material covered in my undergrad, grad, and CPA degrees combined. If one does not actively follow Ronald J. Baker and Ed Kless they are doing themselves a disservice.
DavidFile via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/21/17
I thought this podcast was going to be two ivory-tower, automaton-sounding economists discussing how many angels it will take to run a big enterprise. But they have warmly shifted the way my mind works when it comes both to my little online business and freelancing, and to larger economies. And...Read full review »

I have listened to a lot of podcasts in the last 10 years. The Soul of Enterprise tops my list. Ed and Ron bring great content and storytelling to a genre that tends to be on the dull side. Keep up the great work guys.
