What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

It was entertaining to see the competitive dynamic between Ian and his friend/former sales rival, Mike Brandt. Mike clearly is a pro, I really got a lot from both his sales approach and his work life balance. The discipline he has to focus on revenue generating activities while leaning into his super power with pitch decks was insightful. There is a definitely and overlap between both Mike and Ian’s approaches on how to land big deals. My favorite part honestly was the fact that Mike and his family have multiple acres in the country and he shuts down screens after work for quality time with his family. This was an inspiring listen and I found it was helpful for my own mindset on multiple fronts.

Ian’s podcast (and coaching program) have been so helpful. I love his authentic approach, which makes it feel that anyone can achieve the possible and impossible with his support and the right mindset. Highly recommend!

Just finished Episode 2 with guest Robby Jones. Incredibly motivating. As a previous door knocker who broke into tech a little over year ago I can attest that D2D sales is the ultimate grit builder. It’s incredible to have access to 7-figure earners who share their mindset, approach and are vulnerable enough to share their L’s. Most impressive to me is that none of these guests hang their hat on a 7-figure year. These stories are so impactful because it’s about more than just making money.

Cody in Tech · Jun 2026

I’ve been following Ian for a while now, and one of the things I’ve always appreciated is that his content goes way beyond surface-level sales advice. It’s not just “work harder” or “make more calls.” It’s tactical, strategic, and grounded in what actually moves the needle: revenue-generating activities, discipline, intentionality, executive alignment, and building a career and life with purpose….not just chasing quota. I recently listened to the episode with Jonathan Samuelson, and it really hit home for me. I’m in contact center / CCaaS sales myself, so hearing Jonathan talk through his journey, his operating rhythm, and how he approaches complex enterprise deals was incredibly relevant. The biggest takeaway for me was the mindset shift from “selling software” to truly selling like a business consultant. The best sellers are not just pitching features. They are diagnosing business friction, quantifying pain, identifying where money is being lost, and helping executives understand why the problem matters now. That part really stood out. I also appreciated the emphasis on controlling the inputs. Protecting the morning for RGAs, staying disciplined with time blocks, focusing on the next right action, and not letting a big annual number create paralysis. That is the kind of practical advice that sounds simple, but when executed consistently, can completely change a seller’s trajectory. What I respect most about Ian’s content is that there is a clear purpose-driven foundation behind it. Yes, it’s about becoming a better seller. But it’s also about becoming more disciplined, more intentional, more grounded, and better equipped to lead well at work and at home. This was one of the most relevant sales podcast episodes I’ve listened to in a long time. Highly recommend it for any tech seller who wants to level up with more structure, purpose, and discipline. -Andrew Guenther
