Not Just for Technology Professionals

Adam and his awesome guests cover so much more than technology. Tech is always at the core, but they also discuss how to overcome obstacles every entrepreneur has to face - all while being personable and engaging. Whether you're a techie, a creative, or anything in between, I highly recommend you take a listen! Thanks for creating such a wonderful show Adam - keep up the great work!

Awesome Podcast

This is like a front row seat to many of the colleague to colleague conversations that happen all the time in Silicon Valley. It is a great resource for entrepreneurs and I have found it to be a peek behind the curtain of how VC’s think and what they look for in the applicants. Love the focus on Augmented Reality too!
