This guy has the voice and intonation of a movie trailer narrator.
There are no words to describe how valuable these words are to anyone who seeks investment for a startup 🙌🏽💯
great episode, unique view and perspective that rarely if ever reaches the general public.
I hate that it’s all without fail Edison’s now
תחת פיתמיד וחצי בס סבבה זה זב ב עככס
was Startup cancelled? it seems to be updating with episodes of Without Fail
Very boring episode. It was more about Mary's personal story rather than her business. We didn't get to hear almost anything about "what it's really like to start a business".
I passionately hate the way that guy repeats 3 times in a row! that's Uber.com/rewards
why are all the 'without fail' episodes double posted?
awesome!
that's cheating. without fail was already advertised in this channel...
