This podcast was perfect. As an entrepreneur myself and a fan of How I built this, I thought it was so good to have our own British version. Please come back!

Excellent podcast
For Xmas I received some air pods and then discovered the world of podcasts. My first podcast was Julie Dean and it was excellent. Being a business owner I could relate to her story and struggles to achieve her goals. My walk to the office is so much better now.

Great show but...
I’ve been an ‘entrepreneur’ for my whole career but what I hear is ‘create an idea, build a brand and then get investors’ instead of ‘get an idea, build a brand and then build a business’
Building wealth and longevity in a business is (in my opinion) is far more valuable than build it quick & sell it to others who want to get a quick buck.

Keep going!!!
Amazing interviews with amazingly insightful and successful entrepreneurs! To be five star, cut back slightly on insecure banter...

Overall, it’s good
I’m a bit of a business nerd so when I heard about The Disrupters it sounded like my kind of thing. And overall it is. The interviews are interesting and insightful, and I like the way they cut in and out of the interview itself for discussion between the presenters around certain key points.
I find the jaunty style and banter a little annoying, and the simplistic explanation of some concepts such as seed funding are to me, a bit patronising. As I’ve said though, I’m a nerd on this topic and others probably find the explanations helpful if they are less familiar with the subject area. I also have to take slight issue with the title. Of the guests so far I would only categorise about half of these as true disrupters. The others are still well worth a listen as they feature people who have started successful and interesting businesses, but they haven’t had game-changing impact on the markets in which they operate and are not true disrupters in my opinion.
Overall, it’s good to listen to. Thanks guys.

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. It’s a great source of inspiration for entrepreneurs. I’ve recommended it to a group of new businesses that I work with, and I’m looking forward to working through the back catalogue.

Interesting
Particularly enjoyed the Cambridge satchel company episode, as I run a business and it was relatable in the initial stages.

This podcast is brilliant for anyone who owns a business, is thinking about starting one or for considering the ways in which entrepreneurship can be considered from different angles. It’s generally life affirming as well with some excellent messages about human endeavour, failure and fulfilment.

It’s The Business
Love the podcast. It’s like sitting with a business guru over a casual coffee. There seems to be a great vibe between the presenters. If your enrolled in the Anti-Alan Sugar School of Business, this is for you !
