What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I had the privilege of being a guest on the show over a year ago and have since gained so much value from both the episodes and community that Brian has created. Additionally, I have become very good friends with Brian and since being on the show, my life has been impacted positively in more ways than I can count!

I recently had the honor of being a guest on Brian’s podcast, which gave me a perspective most reviewers don’t have. Brian and his team were exceptionally organized. Clear communication, a thoughtful preparation process, and everything ran on time. Here is what truly sets this podcast apart - Brian himself. He had genuinely read and understood my background before we even started. Then, during the conversation, he asked questions I did see coming - ones that went deeper than I expected and brought ideas worth sharing. The result felt less like an interview and more like a real conversation. That’s rare, and it’s a direct reflection of how much Brian cares about delivering value to his audience. Highly recommended! Whether you’re a first-time entrepreneur or a seasoned founder, this podcast consistently delivers.

Nissim Maimon · Mar 2026

I was a little anxious about being interviewed and as worried the questions would be too shallow. But I was pleasantly surprised to get some tough questions and pointed framing that I actually have never heard before. The organizational aspect is exceptional as well, everything went without a glitch. The informational emails were also very helpful. Brian is producing amazing content and I cannot recommend enough

yasonok · Feb 2026

Guesting on Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur was one of those conversations that reminds you why podcasts can be such a powerful medium when they are done well. Brian brings a rare mix of thoughtful preparation, genuine curiosity, and easygoing energy that makes the conversation feel natural from the very first question. Even though it was the first time we had ever spoken, I felt comfortable almost immediately. Brian asks questions that invite reflection instead of sound bites and gives ideas the space they need to develop. The result is a conversation that feels human, honest, and engaging, rather than rushed or overproduced. His friendliness and warmth make it easy to explore complex topics, especially around entrepreneurship and AI, in a way that feels accessible and grounded. I walked away from the conversation feeling energized, thoughtful, and genuinely grateful for the chance to connect. That feeling says a lot about Brian as a host and about the kind of space he creates for meaningful dialogue, and it is one I truly appreciated. His podcast is an inviting space, whether you’re guiding the conversation or stepping into it as a guest.

Luka Anic · Dec 2025

I am putting this out here just in case someone else has a similar situation. We own a very small business so we thought it was weird someone reached out to see if we want to be a guess on this show. Then we found out it cost almost $300 to come on. And the shows are just the interviewee is just talking the whole time and the host doesn’t seem to actually dive in their business. They are just making money off of their interviewees.
