Podcasts
I first wrote about them in 2005 (!) and launched the Startup School in 2012. For years, it was a top 10 business podcast, even though I made them all in a weekend. It was a pretty quiet marketplace.
My podcast Akimbo is now in its eighth season and I’m thrilled at how it is resonating with people.
But mostly, I appear on other people’s podcasts. Here’s an incomplete list.
With Tim Ferriss in March 2024. Bolster and the broomstick objection. Mike’s Search for Meaning.
