We've gone to Justin dozens of times for podcast and distribution advice over the past 3-4 years. I'm constantly referring Justin out to clients, friends, or anyone else that is looking to get into podcasting. His production and interview skills are next to none. Definitely recommend.

Shawn Sheikh

I've been interviewed by Justin a number of times. He's an engaging interviewer who understands how to effortlessly move a conversation along and produce a high-quality show with great energy. I've seen him build a number of meaningful relationships through podcasting, including with our own show at Vitalize. I highly recommend his course.

Gale Wilkinson

Managing Partner at Vitalize Venture Capital

Justin has the remarkable ability to not only conduct fantastic interviews with great guests but has leveraged his interviewee's network to bring on other incredible people that are hard to access onto his show. This is one of the most overlooked parts of building a podcast and Justin's ability to build community through his network is impressive.

Mike Gelb

Host of The Consumer VC Podcast

I've had the pleasure of joining Justin on a couple of podcasts in recent years and have always enjoyed engaging with him on the topics of today. Justin is well informed and comes well prepared for the discussion. Always moving the conversation swiftly and smoothly, it often amazes me how much we are able to cover in a short amount of time.

Karl Alomar

Managing Partner at M13

I often see Justin interview really interesting guests in the startup industry. He built a network through his podcast and landed a job at a VC firm as the head of marketing. As a fellow podcaster, I admire Justin's energy in constantly pushing out great content to the world and being super passionate about things he does! :)

Grace Gong

Host of The Smart Venture Podcast

I've been a guest on several podcasts with Justin. One of the things that Justin does so well is he makes his guests feel completely at ease. It's truly like sitting down and chatting with your best friend.
