GUY RAZ IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER RADICAL SOCIALIST STRANGE LUNATIC. I USED TO LOOOOVVVEEE THIS SHOW AND WAS OKAY WITH THE LIBERAL JABS HERE AND THERE, BUT NOW ITS SIMPLY BECOME WAAAAYYY TOO MUCH.
GUY TRIED TO SHAME THE ENTREPRENEURS OF AN ORGANIC BEEF COMPANY BECAUSE HE CHOOSES NOT TO EAT MEAT SO EVERYONE WHO EATS MEAT GETS SHAMED AND IS BAD. GUY IS THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE ALIVE BECAUSE UNLIKE THE "INCLUSIVE" POLITICAL VIEWS HE PREACHES HE IS NOTHING BUT THAT.
THE STRAIGHT UP COMMUNIST BRAINWASHING CENSORSHIP TACTICS ARE STRAIGHT UP UNAMERICAN AND VERY HOSTILE. IF YOU HATE YOUR COUNTRY AND EVERYONE WHO LIVES HERE WHO DOESN'T ACCEPT YOUR INSANE LIFE VIEWS, THEN DON'T DO THIS SHOW ANYMORE. ALSO, IN MY OPINION, GUY RAZ NEEDS PSYCHIATRIC CARE. HE HAS LOST HIS MIND.

Guy Raz Rocks!

Love listening to Guy interview people and drawing out their answers. It feels like we are all sitting outside on a patio on a chill weekend just getting to know each other. My family knows when I listening to this particular podcast because I often say “0h wow”! It one of my favorites to share on road trips because it one of the best ways to hear what it means to be Tenacious and to believe in your dreams and how hard it is to make them happen . Please keep doing more interviews!

Engaging and educational

Actually teaches me a lot about these topics. Guy is so fun and energetic that he is great to listen to. Also, it makes me feel like I’m on a Call with the person being interviewed.
The only reason there this podcast is only rated 4.5 stars instead of 5 is a bunch of people think it’s just liberal ads. I don’t even know what the heck liberals and conservatives are. I’m a kid. This podcast I understand. That’s it.

Chick-fil-A

Guy’s questions show true passion, curiosity, empathy, and are well researched and thought out. The stories are inspiring, and hold your attention well. Not a single episode has been boring. Oh the music is fantastic!
Suggestion: would love to know how someone figured out areas they are not strong at like maybe building an engineering team, finding marketers, etc. More details on how they navigated through their weaknesses pls.

Wow!

Guy does a great job interviewing entrepreneurs, which is especially relevant during these challenging COVID times. I especially enjoyed hearing his interview with Rick Steve, the travel guru, and learned a lot about him and how he got to where he is now. Keep up the great work Guy! Listening from Kennebunk, Maine.

Awesome!

This show is really great and has been really useful to me as a small business owner to understand that growth is possible and how it works for different people. However, I would love to hear a wider variety of peoples experiences. I mean, once you've heard one privileged white millennial's story, you've kind of heard them all. Same goes for stories about businesses about a cracker, a cookie, a granola bar. It's just redundant and that time could be used to highlight something different. It would be especially useful to hear the business stories from people who didn't start with much at all, like immigrants such as myself and others who have a less easy path. Some of my favorite episodes so far have been Casey Neistat, Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia, FUBU, and Crate and Barrel.

Really going downhill

This used to be my absolute favorite podcast, I’d say that the older episodes still are some of my favorite podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Lately though, this show has severely gone downhill. Everything gets turned into a question about race and social injustice. We get it. As a part of the black community, your hitting this topic too much. Bring back the old versions of interviews, truly about business and how it was built. Include more black stories, YES! Absolutely! Please do! But the episode doesn’t need to turn into solely about race.

Awesome! But...

I love how I built this! It is a great podcast that I fully recommend. The only thing is that recent episode's have been less about a business and more about social issues. I am fine with discussing issues is our society but I also feel that How I Built this isn’t necessary the place.
Love the show though!

First it was “Marketplace” then “Make Me Smart” and finally “Planet Money” . . . but soon it will be “How I Built This” that I will cancel.
At first the leftist jabs and content and guests were insidious but now it has become pervasive. Guy has gone all-in and it’s so obnoxiously sickening.
A recent episode Guy did with the couple who raised organic beef was especially poignant. Ordinarily, Guy would have heralded the couple as liberal champions but he ended-up being “conflicted” because of the anti-meat crowd point of view - he then excoriated the couple - SAD!
The good news is that I have replaced the leftist NPR podcasts with Wondery podcasts - THEY ARE AWESOME! Bye-bye Guy - I won’t miss you!

Awesome for learning about entrepreneurial spirt

Love the podcast, but wish there was not a repeat appearance about Teach for America, an organization that allows pre-law students with no education background to teach our most vulnerable populations of students and then leave 1-2 years later (if they make it that far).

Really good - except all the repeats

I really enjoy this podcast, 5 stars in general, but the repeats/reposting of old episodes is very annoying. While the labeling of these has gotten better, when I’m driving and just click next podcast, I’ll get started on one and it’ll take me a few minutes to realize I’ve already heard it. And as someone who didn’t start listening until a year ago, it is challenging to wade through the repeats to get to older, new to me, episodes without getting stuck on determining if I’ve heard it before. Honestly, I’d prefer if they just skipped a week when there is nothing new to post. If people want to hear old ones, they will just go back and listen.

Wonderful!

My favorite podcast of all time. The production of these podcasts help you feel the story, and Guy does an incredible job getting the founders to relive their story through telling it again. I hope this show never ends.

I enjoy this podcast and will continue to listen. It is inspiring and Guy asks some great questions.
However, while listening to the Kenneth Cole podcast, you said something like “customers often want companies to take a stand on important issues, such as social justice and they do, even if it means alienating a certain customer base.”
If that was a jab at conservatives, which I took it to be, I think it is low of you Guy. I am a conservative and I certainly care about people being treated fairly.
What I do not care for is toxic and violent hate groups like BLM that big companies donate to.
Your wording was clumsy and inaccurate.

Guy’s podcast featured a diverse variety of entrepreneurs with very inspiring stories. I love how Guy really delves into the personal stories, asking hard questions about details that always feel like the hardest obstacles to get started! Very relatable and bypasses the typical marketing-PR story, so a unique perspective on oft-told stories!

Super

Guy, you are amazing. This is by far the best produced and most insightful podcast I’ve ever listened to. You ask the right questions to get the most out of the time with the guest, and always ask those vulnerable questions were all wondering. I started by listening to episodes with brands I knew, but now am loving learning about new businesses I’d never heard of! Love this !!!

I absolutely love Guy and this show

I HATE how they play music over/during the interview. I have ADD and it is difficult to have multiple audio stimuli at once. I cannot understand the current trend in podcasts to do this, no matter how great the interview, I am not listening.
