Must Listen For All Founders
Ed and (spicy) Paul take a pragmatic yet forward-thinking approach to building businesses and laying out the status of venture funding environment from both sides of the table without being pretentious. A must listen for founders and business owners of any stage.

Great podcast!
Great podcast! Love listening to Ed and Paul. Both of Ed’s podcasts are great listens. Funny, informative, and an easy listen.

Great learning for start-up founder and experienced tech exec
As a first-time start-up co-founder and experienced C-level tech/product exec, I get practical tips and great new perspectives from Paul and Ed’s topic-centered and timely conversations. Some very specific nuggets that they self-deprecatingly call “rambling” have taken me down hours-long and fruitful rabbit holes. I’m in!

Consistently great listening for business owners, even if the main topics don't match your business
I'd missed out a little at first, because episode topics often seemed to focus on fundraising, angel investing, or aquisition - 3 things I'm not personally interested in for my small online business. But, having caught up on every episode, I've found it's valuable just to listen to two business owners banter who (a) know from experience what they're talking about and (b) are sensible and not slimy/hustly about it. It's a combination surprisingly rare to find online, and leads to sharing a lot of generally good advice about business relationships, competitive positioning, recent changes in customer acquisition, and clear ways to talk about things likely to affect any business. Topics are consistent enough to form a common thread, but with different enough angles or updated points each time that it doesn't become repetitive. And, though it's not the most important thing about a show, production quality is great right from the start - music, editing, mixing and so on are solid so they never distract from the content.

Unique entrepreneurs / investors, great early stage advice
Loving the podcast. Paul and Ed dish out heaps of insight that I find particularly helpful at the early stage. Whether you’re raising seed stage capital or a priced round, you should be listening to these guys. Probably the best thing about them is that they are both ACTIVE entrepreneurs and ACTIVE investors. This isn’t an investor telling you about how he exited an amazing startup 15-20 years ago; these guys are doing it day in and day out. Paul mentions rolling up his sleeves and writing code again to set up a chrome extension to track his stats. Ed jumps back in the kitchen at one of his 5 Guys locations and cooks burgers. They’re in the trenches and they understand both sides of a deal. Very insightful duo. Thanks Ed and Paul!

Great topics!
Fantastic work. You guys have great podcast chemistry and are touching on topics that cross many industries and career fields. Can’t wait for more episodes. Keep it up.

Paul Singh is my spirit animal.
Great stuff as always.
