Love the show. Hope you guys can make a lot episodes . But can everyone just let Jason speak once in a while? Easily the most spoken over person on the pod.

They lost me once they started praising JD Vance

Can be hit or miss. Often has great ecom insights. However, they come across as fascists when they veer into politics.

I've been listening since to Operators since it came out - the content lives up to the name. 3 of the 4 guys are true operators, people who are in the weeds of their business and want to keep pushing growth. Sean is exceptional at spotting trends across DTC. He always leaves me with a new thought to explore. He's the true "star" of the show with a big personality - but the ideas and insight to match. Mike has really pushed my thinking on people and leadership. Every time he speaks, I know I'm going to get a measured, respected view on the topic. Matt continually shares a nuanced perspective - both his successes and failures. He's humble yet aware of his own strengths and offers up his insight when appropriate. Jason is an issue. He goes on long monologues about how successful he is, how the problems they're discussing don't apply to him or his *aMaZinG*, crazy-margin business HexClad. He spent almost an entire episode name dropping someone he sat next to at a dinner. He has no interest in offering any true value to the listener. I reached a breaking point this past episode where he boasted about being drunk on the episode. Maybe because he's not a founder he doesn't understand the pain and blood that goes into getting a business off the ground and keeping it healthy - but it’s gotten to the point where I try to skip through anytime he begins talking because I don't ever want to approach my life or business the way he suggests.

This has become my favorite podcast. It has CEOs that bootstrapped their way to $100 million plus in revenue in DTC businesses like HexClad, Simple Modern, Ridge, etc. These aren’t some influencers that don’t know how building at scale actually works. These guys are talking real numbers with real insights. I could listen to them talk business all day.

I really like this podcast and as an operator I find a lot of the information very valuable thought most of the good insights come from Sean. I would recommend talking about some of the challenges they are facing or issues they have with the business. As an operator of a DTC business myself it’s unrealistic to believe that everything is going so well in every aspect of their businesses. Also Jason Panzer needs to stop mentioning that he worked in investment banking every episode!

I really want to like this podcast but it’s so unbelievably boring. Really not actionable or tactical at all which could be the saving grace

If you're not listening to the operators, are you even in DTC?

Love this podcast. As an ecom operator myself (albeit at a smaller scale), I love to be able to listen into the conversations of some absolute freaks in the space. Keep it coming boys.

Easy to tell these guys are deep in the game. Will likely be relevant to a smaller audience than other pods because the insights are several steps ahead of where most will ever be. But for those of us a step or two behind, invaluable. I hope they keep it deep. Best pod I’ve listened to.

This podcast sounds great and I wanted to love it but it was just so boring I couldn’t listen to the whole thing.

There’s a million podcasts about marketing and brand but there’s only one that gets into the weeds with the nitty gritty of scaling a business. Love how well these guys build off each other. This is a must-listen class for your “D2C MBA”

If you run an ecomm brand, then you need to subscribe to this podcast

There are influencers that sit on the sidelines and comment on business. Or sit in business schools and posture with theory. This isn’t that… These guys are talking about real and actionable ideas that scaled them. PLUS, they’re talking about what’s working right now. And I love how they pull zero punches. This is on my weekly listen list now.

These guys provided some really interesting and actionable insights, and they were a blast to listen to. Will definitely be adding this one to my rotation.
