What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

It’s a gift to be able to listen to some of the smartest people in tech investing discuss important issues using a very objective lens. I look at things differently after listening to Marc and Ben discuss a topic.

Jrh426 · Jan 2024

I appreciate Marc distilling so many thought leaders’ books and making them accessible in today’s context. I always find another connection between dots that I’ve been struggling to make. One question that needs addressing: is the invention/discovery of a new technology inevitable? That is, will someone, somewhere eventually “invent” a new technology any which way? If so, does any regulation act merely as a retardant?

NYCMontana · Nov 2023

You get to be a fly on the wall, while two of the smartest people in tech discuss the future. For free. With no commercials. It’s insanely great and I never miss an episode.

Grvr2G10 · Oct 2023

Great podcast so far. Would have like to see that AI Hollywood conversation with some producers and studio heads for a better conversation

K.Dooot · Dec 2023

Summer/Fall 2024, I bought into his narrative about the emerging economy. It’s now April 2025, and his last podcast was in November—back when he was activity advocating for the current administration. My portfolio has taken a hit from the economic chaos and what feels like tantrum-driven tariffs. I was excited to see a new episode, hoping for insight on how he’s interpreting the current landscape and what strategic moves to consider. Instead, the only episode is just a self-congratulatory walk down memory lane—“I was smart and made great plays decades ago.” He is starting to feel out of touch and has backed some disastrously performing leaders, at least based on the market’s reaction. I’m still open to the idea that he knows what he’s doing, but right now it feels like he’s hiding behind his legacy.
