It is not every day that I get to learn from individuals of this caliber! Venture Stories has quickly become a favorite in my feed. Highly recommend giving it a listen!

I love Village Stories as not only do they bring great speakers but they are excellent interviewers who bring out the most interesting elements of every topic. I find that the episodes are structured in a way that anyone who is not an expert in a topic finds value in understanding the theme’s key insights. And they are super fun to listen to on my daily walks!

Venture Stories has quickly become a must-listen in my feed! I'm consistently impressed by the engaging conversations, insightful content, and actionable ideas. I truly learn something every time I listen!

Erik, host of the podcast, highlights all aspects of entrepreneurship and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

This used to be an incredible podcast with great interviews with founders, VCs and thought leaders. Unfortunately, since starting OnDeck, this has become a never ending commercial for their various OnDeck programs. Once it’s clear that an episode is going to be another OnDeck pitch, I move on because it’s not worth the 45 minute marketing pitch

Good guests talking about important topics. Host stutters a lot. He’s like the Woody Allen of VC. A speech pathologist is chump change for this guy. Why not hire one so he he can lose the Biden-like gaffes. Regardless, worth a listen!

And energized by the content of each interview

Erik does a great job interviewing a range of guests — well-known to rising stars in tech. His questions are thoughtful, and the format is a unique one. I especially appreciate that he digs into guests’ thinking and challenges commonly-held beliefs and even the beliefs of two guests on at once.

For Christ’s sake get a real microphone. Your mic sounds like an old man farting. The interviews are pretty good but my goodness the audio sounds like it was recorded on a 90s tape recorder. And the video interviews are way worse, stick to inperson

Feel free to invest in your equipment.

Great podcast. Very thoughtful. Erik - you do a terrific job but PLEASE talk slower and make a deliberate effort to do so. It’s extremely difficult to listen to. Please talk slower and with clarity. Dumb people in Silicon Valley talk fast.

Like some others I discovered Venture Stories via the interview with Cyan (which was excellent). I subscribed to see if the episodes without big names are good and they are! The podcast (Erik) consistently has the best minds (famous and less famous) on and covers a variety of areas, from engineering, VC, blockchain, economics, science, health, etc. Podcast is one of a few that gets close to embodying the Silicon Valley (intellectual) community. “Twitter integration”: The podcast sort of reflects Silicon Valley twitter sphere and I like that. I also like how we always know how to find the guests on twitter. This is great as Silicon Valley is most alive as an intellectual community on twitter.

After listening to Erik’s recent interview with Cyan and Niv I am too inspired to sleep. Been reading about the three of them and following them on social etc. I’m going through past episodes next.

Erik has a wide variety of guests who are all leaders and innovators in their respective fields and asks insightful questions. Almost every episode I listen to leaves me thinking after it’s over.

Erik and his incredible guests make me feel completely at home here - bowled over by brilliant advice and nourishing conversations. Highly recommend listening and subscribing to Venture Stories if you want the knowledge AND mindsets to stay ahead of the curve as the tech landscape continues to rapidly evolve.

Love the topics and the people but the audio quality makes some of the podcasts impossible to hear. Unfortunate.

Guys, audio is a kind of technology. If you want to talk about technology, pay respect to what technology you are using. I thought you were working on and tried to be patient, but 9/7/18 episode was the last straw. I visualized you putting your skype interviewee on speaker and recording with your phone. Please google and spend a small amount of money to provide minimal viable quality.

I think this is a very underrated podcast. The content is amazing, and definitely in my top 3 crypto podcasts. Audio can be improved. Thanks and please keep it up!!

Guys super interesting topics but you gotta work on the audio! You can’t have guests recorded over the phone or whatever it is, it’s 2018. I listen to an Italian one (digitalia) where people dial in remotely but quality is perfect. It really makes you want to stop listening... which I am with most episodes.
