Friends,

Last month, we launched The Generalist podcast. It’s only been a few short weeks, but things have gotten off to a strong start: we’ve hosted fantastic, differentiated conversations about the future, regularly ranked in the Top 30 US tech podcasts already, and gotten really exciting feedback from early listeners!

A few of my favorites:

“Loving the podcast. Exceptional content”

“Another amazing episode.”

“What a podcast upgrade for my next cardio session.”

“Thanks for sharing, Mario. I truly enjoy the flow of your content and the way you ask questions to bring out authenticity in conversations.”

“This was brilliant! Authentic and insightful. Thanks for sharing.”

“This was my perfect episode! I didn’t think you could keep raising the bar Mario but you did it again! Man - so much value. Strongly strongly recommended.”
