What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Can we talk about that opening song. It lives rent free in in my head and I’m not even mad about it. But for real….as a non-tech founder who built an AI SAAS tool that is KICKING I find myself in this “ai bro tech world”….and so much of them and IT is cringe. But NOT GREG. I listen to his show every AM post 3 kid drop-off and I have been known to force my team and friends to listen to certain episodes (the FOUNDER story one is an all-time fave). Greg has given me so much inspiration to keep on going with my AI tool (he doesn’t know this but now he does). You don’t need to be “tech or even ai savvy” to get so much insights from his podcast. He also seems like a genuine nice guy… which counts for so much these days.

23opme · May 2025

This podcast proves that all the bells and whistles like glossy sets and cover art are unnecessary if your content is solid. Brilliant ideas every week. IMO, it’s the most useful podcast out right now if you’re ready to run with a winning product idea!

C-Milli · Dec 2024

The Dream 100 episode was amazing! Perhaps the most practical advice to build a business without the added social media grind of content creation and audience building. I’m starting right away. 1. Entrepreneur’s Organization 2. Chamber of Commerce 3. Silicon Slopes (Local Tech Community) 4. Startup Community (thanks Greg)

Alex Huhn · Dec 2024

Greg is the best podcast host in the startup space. He listens, he’s calm and soothing, he is thoughtful about his ideas, and he is genuine. I love listening over a cup of coffee or on a walk. Even a long car ride. Greg is a genius with product strategy and design. I hope to one day meet him. He has no idea how much of a friend he’s been to me. That might sound weird, but you’ll know what I mean after an episode or two. Nick
