Great Content!

While these episodes are very informative and helpful, I wish Yuval would improve his audio setup. I often hear echos and have to 2X the sound compared to all other podcasts.

This podcast has been an invaluable source of information and inspiration as I embark on this new career path. Huge thanks Yuval and his guests!
