    Great Breakdowns
    As an exited founder who is constantly consuming this type of content, Alex’s breakdowns are thoughtful and succinct. Even for books and articles that I’ve read before, it’s a helpful reminder. Someone’s we read something that isn’t immediately relevant to us, this has been a great way to visit (and revisit) a lot of concepts quickly.

    Great podcast!
    Alex does a great job of providing a mix of content. His insights about building StoryArb plus the interview podcast are both interesting and educational.

    Fresh take on business lessons
    I listen to founders journal because of the good vibes and great advice Alex oozes. It’s truly inspiring. I keep listening to Founder's Journal for the same reason I watch Alex Hormozi - the confident tone, delivery, and yet humble self-conscious self awareness in every lesson. This is the kind of boss, friend, mentor, and defender I want to be.

    Super helpful
    I’m so glad I found this podcast! It’s really helpful to hear the ins and outs of Alex’s journey through the morning brew & current projects; like having a personal mentor to guide me through my level of entrepreneurship now through his triumphs & mistakes along his way. Thank you for sharing tour journey & insights, Alex! It’s so helpful! I so appreciate you.

    Highly recommend!
    Alex is great on audio - he does not gate keep his successes and failures but openly shares them to guide current/future entrepreneurs, as well as those work 9-5. Highly recommend to any entrepreneurs or individual that looks to improve their current professional life and their future entrepreneurial endeavors!

    Great to mediocre at best
    Loved the Crazy Ones. Listened avidly. Alex and Jesse had a great vibe. I leaned tons and the episodes were jam packed with recos and real life stories and useful advice. Fast forward to Alex making the show once again about Alex. Alex likes change. Alex is good at content. Alex got bored. Whatever. Alex is not good at listening to his audience and loves talking, about Alex. The dear diary style is really cringe. I unfollowed before I threw up.
  • GTMDiver
    Not as good as Morning Brew leadership series
    I used listen Morning brew podcast regularly. This latest spin off isn’t as good as original podcasts and the content feels a bit all over the place as it’s catering to wide range of audience.

    Transparent and insightful
    This is one of my favorite podcasts right now and I’m loving the addition of the solo episodes too - the more the merrier. While my industry is different as a solopreneur in the food delivery space, it’s super helpful to hear how both Alex and Jesse think through problems and brainstorm ideas for existing businesses and new business concepts. Great job guys!

    Awesome Podcast
    As a Gen-Xer who left a large corporation after 23 to be employee #4 in a start up … this podcast has not only helped me get up to speed in working in a start up, but has also challenged my way of thinking and helped me develop my thought processes. Alex’s insights, honesty, and transparency really make this program authentic and valuable. He thinks about the content, and delivers. Jesse is a great addition to the team, as his perspective and successes really compliment Alex. Keep up the good work.

    Favorite Business Podcast Each Week
    Always entertaining and I take a little tidbit every week! If you want to learn about a wide range of topics you can adapt to any type of business this is the podcast. We’re testing out a product idea on Kickstarter in the next couple months and would have never thought about using that platform before!
  • Tinywingluvr
    Authentic & insightful

    Interesting insights and free flow conversations
    I have been a big fan of the Morning Brew newsletter for years now, and I just found this podcast a few months ago. While I am not an entrepreneur, I still get a lot out of the conversations and the overall business insight discussed. I also love the free flowing model of this podcast and the conversations. Big fan of the new format as well!

  • @cdrinkwine
    Super Smart, Clear, Concise, Vulnerable
    I sincerely enjoy every episode of The Crazy Ones. Every time I feel like I have a better understanding of what I always felt was a scary and complex business world that wasn't for me, but whether the topic is Ethereum,How to Advance Your Career, a big industry acquisition or how to be more productive, Alex and Jesse’s frank, open, honest and often vulnerable insights set the stage perfectly to help you understand the things that make business work. If you want to build your confidence in being able to think and speak at the level that is going to move your career and life forward, you can't afford to miss an episode.

    I love how detailed and easy to understand this podcast is. They share practical advice for real life work situations. More than anything the conversation is authentic.
  • Dallas Blum
    Fun Team Up
    Been listening to Jesse on Business Breakdowns and always enjoyed Morning Brew as well from Alex. This has been a fun team up to listen to them not just talk through other companies like they usually would but some of the real challenges they faced before or continue to tackle day to day with there new ventures. Feel like they will keep growing to challenge some of the other great ones in the podcast space!
  • BTCWizard
    THE podcast for emerging brands and the stories behind them!

  • KelliNovotny
    New favorite podcast
    Love listening to these crazy ambitious guys. They tell stories and conduct interviews that are applicable to business at ALL stages AND…. to life in general. I always walk away inspired or having learned something. Regardless of their independent successes they remain humble and relatable. So grateful for their guidance. I wish they could speak at every high school in the United States lol
  • RChoudhury
    Real and emotional insights
    I’ve been following Alex and Jesse separately, love what they’ve been doing in the email newsletter space (Alex) and Ad-tech (Jesse) for years. So finding this podcast and listening to their insights and raw take has been awesome and very relatable. They both get vulnerable and talk about feels and emotions, not just business, media, or tech. Truly refreshing. Keep it up!
  • toastyoda
    Must Listen for Founders & Professionals
    Alex and Jesse provide awesome insights and perspectives from their experiences as successful startup founders. They do a good job sharing the good, the bad and the ugly, at a time when Start-Up founding has been most glamorized. This is a great resource for people who have started their own businesses, for those that want to work with startups, and for those that want to apply entrepreneurial skills to their role for career growth/enhancement. Definitely go back and listen to old Founders Journal episodes too.

    Informative
    Whether you’re a solopreneur or have an entire team working for you, this podcast has value. Both Alex and Jesse offer advice based on each of their experiences as founders who built their businesses then subsequently sold them. I’m really impressed with the amount of self awareness and candor they bring to their stories.
  • Phiten_Enginerd

    Good actionable items for entrepreneurs
    As a 5 unit brick and mortar business owner I find valuable nuggets and actionable tips each week. If it isn’t queued first when it drops I go grab it to listen.
  • Zubess1
    Candid, Concise Entrepreneurship Fuel
    Love the format that emulates what Alex has done in the Founders Journal. The episode on key takeaways from Building a Second Brain contains great concepts for a developing entrepreneur listener like me. The style is inspiring in itself as an excellent method by which to encode information into long term memory by subsequently teaching others what your main takeaways are. Keep up the incredible work and thank you for sharing your journey to help guide me on my own path of startup life and entrepreneurship. All the best, Steve

    Amazing Podcast For Anyone w/
    I have been an avid listener of the The Crazy Ones since day one. I have an excitement when each episode comes out. Alex and Jesse are not only tremendously insightful around Business and Entrepreneurship, but they are relatable to any entrepreneur, at any stage. Not only is the show entertaining, but there are actionable takeaways from each episode. From a new entrepreneur in the early stages of launching my company, they help me get through the grind of it each day. Can’t wait to see this show continue to grow and expand.

  • Nate Mella
    Insightful
    Alex and Jesse are brilliant. It’s incredibly motivating and insightful to hear the stories and suggestions that they share. This podcast by far has the most actionable insights of any other podcast I’ve listened to. It’s like listening to a New York Times best seller (but it’s free)
  • AFbuilder
    Keep up the great work
    I listen to a lot of business and entrepreneurship podcasts and this is one of the best ones out there. The segment on the latest episode pitching and analyzing the plunge business was awesome. More of that please. More pitches from founders and follow ups to see how they inevitability pivot and evolve.
  • Fun hosts and good insights!
