Customer Reviews
Highlighting the stories of companies/tools I use
Each episode unpacks how a brilliant idea came to life. Entrepreneurs and innovators from Google Docs, Rippling, Shopify and more expand on how they became the tools and services we now rely on. Who doesn’t want to know when things clicked for the companies we use everyday?! Also I love how episodes are less than 30 min!
The unconventional “behind the scenes” successes of tech!
These episodes have been killer!! I love that they’ve focused on a wide range of industries and “products”, but that all ultimately rose to the top by having a “when it clicked” moment, and worked against the norm. I like that this podcast seems to want to highlight the unconventional or unpredictable journeys that many of these now successful companies go through. How did you become what you are now?
Love it! You cannot find it elsewhere
I learned a lot by listening this podcast. The stories from Writely, Rippling to Shopify, it is just astonishing achievements. Both the content itself, and the story telling. I cannot wait to hear the next episode!
