Drugs?
And yet the Libtards don’t show this in the News, or anywhere what do ever! 😡
Really? I am amazed!!
Me too Nothing different from any other generation Who knew boomers would have more money now . Go figure 🤔
If your in your early 20’s or have smart parents to set you up when your born. Yes the time is to start now. But if you’re in you 40’s+ you’re playing the catch up game, but the point is you’re in and starting. Good luck and I hope all billionaire go broke and the broke become billionaires.
VC has become less accessible since the beginning of the Newton program, this is partly because the Newton Venture Program was developed by Dan Arielly's academic scammers.
He sounds solid 😊
That’s a low percentage but what percentage of companies are these diverse businesses. The figures mean nothing without a figure for that
Thank you so much bro, I was recently appointed by my State Government as a Technical Adviser to the Executive Chairman of my State IRS. A sizeable role for a young man. People tell me I'm the glue that will hold the organization together so I am here to learn how to carry out my duties.
This episode provided a comprehensive view of the Product world. I appreciated the discussion about cross-functional collaboration and putting customers first. 💯💯💯

Music irritating.
Sorry to hear you found the music irritating. We'll look to change this for future episodes.
Totally agreed. The music is completely unnecessary when the person is speaking. Super distracting and frustrating.

Clarrrrrrrke!
