The Ray Dalio podcasts were some of the best pods to date. His perspective was refreshing to hear, especially his optimism towards the pandemic and how this will all be a small blimp on the world timeline when we look back on this. Although I’m not as optimistic as he is, he brought up some points that I’ve never considered and I appreciate that. I also appreciate the Business Casual Podcast. I’ve been listening since the start and it has been great hearing the evolution of this podcast in real time. Keep up the great work!!

Thoughts the Ray Dalio pods were great. His perspective is real and honest. We need more of that. But one thing troubled me, he discusses many topics like: - Redistribution of wealth (wealth disparity) - Those at the bottom - Education disparities - Taxes and impact on education in certain communities But he never mentioned race. Nor did the interview directly ask about race. Now of course, it’s possible this was discussed and didn’t make the final cut. If that’s the case I have to wonder why? As a black man (well educated one) with many white colleagues that I trust and love, I notice that in public forums they hesitate to call out race and the systematic racism in the US (the world) and its historical and ongoing impact. A incredible intelligent and thoughtful man like Ray must know this. It can’t be ignored, so to have such a great discussion on how capitalism is no longer as effective in achieving a common goal for the US, I have to believe be proactively glosses over this important detail. The same goes for the greAt host of the podcast. So in conclusion, why? Why can’t a man like Ray call out the realism of white privilege? He states It’s a zero sum game, is it possible he (and white people, especially white men) don’t to relinquish their ‘head start’? I think these are questions that Ray and others must answer publicly. Because there is no redistribution of wealth if whites people don’t think with best interest of black and brown (Latinx) folk in mind. This absolutely can’t be ignored. Thank you for the great pod. I really would love to discuss further with the host/someone from morning brew.

It seems that no interviewee is a challenge for Kinsey. She's sharp, intelligent and does the deep dive research necessary to interview the biggest people out there with confidence and finesse. Love her cadence, opinion and that she puts everything on the table. Would enjoy if Business Casual brought more females in to interview since it's top heavy in testosterone. But I suppose that is a universal problem. Again, love the pod, the topics and the talent!

I love listening to business casual for many reasons. Number one I feel significantly more intelligent after listening, so why not? Number two, the guests are great and always provide unique and valuable input. And number three, Kinsey asks existencial questions that get you thinking for hours.

I’ve been reading Morning Brew’s newsletter for almost 2 years and I’ve been tuned in ever since. I’m glad I found a place where I can understand what’s going on and why it matters to me. And ever since they released the Business Casual podcast, I knew it was game over if they could execute... and they sure have. Every episode is bringing me tremendous value with great questions that I wouldn’t think to ask myself to these big shots. Keep it up, and thank you.

Feels like the podcast gets better every week and they have consistently interesting guests. Always at the top of my list to listen to

I’ve been listening to this podcast for awhile now, and I always appreciate the interesting and insightful guests. I found the Ray Dalio conversation in particular to be relevant to the current global situation. Loved that Kinsey was willing to push him on certain points in order to dig deeper. All around great show!

Fun, easy listen to keep up with business topics and trends!!

They land some really great guests (Ray Dalio!) and can make some pretty dry topics a little more fun... Having said that, I think there could be more substance in the questions asked to guests to make the flow of the convo go a lot smoother.. for example, at times it feels like the interviewer isn’t completely processing what the guest has said and is just reading off a pre-prepared question instead... Overall though, good job!

I’ve been a loyal morning brew listener for the past 6 months and there is no better way to start my day than reading a brew newsletter or listening to the business casual podcast. My favorite podcasts have been the Mark Cuban interview and the recent Ray Dalio 2-part interview. Dalio is an economic and business role model for us all and provides important insights on our economic future. Kinsey Grant does a fabulous job pulling information out of all the impressive business leaders that appear on the podcast, particularly her thought provoking questions for Dalio. Great work!

Great show. Love the timely releases and always topical questions and themes.

I really enjoy listening to Morning Brew and think the show has progressively gotten better. You can tell Kinsey does her homework and is well prepared for her interviews. I was surprised to see the prestige of some of the guests on the show but am continually impressed. Great job!

I never miss an episode, great guests and great conversation. Keep it up!

I've been reading the newsletter for about a year now, and I just started listening to the podcast. Really engaging and simple to follow. Keep up the good work!

Business Casual has a great mix of marketers, entrepreneurs, leaders of social enterprises and others who paint a picture of the future of business. This show remains politically neutral while touching on points of how social causes and the environment influence short- and long-term trends. Kinsey does a great job asking thought-provoking questions while giving the show a laid-back feeling. My go-to.

Really enjoyed the back and forth of the interview. I liked that Kinsey was not afraid to push back and have Ray elaborate more on certain points.

This podcast and the Email Newsletter are my one go to for business news. I always tune in and read daily/weekly when they produce content. Short concise distilled business/issues/current events that can be digested quickly and even dig into deeper, as one wants.

Love the topics and conversations. Great work on this one!

I’m an MBA student and found this podcast to be incredibly insightful. New subscriber and will be tuning in for now on. Impressed that you were able to get Ray Dalio!

I read that Ray Dalio was going to be a guest on the podcast. That was the only reason that I downloaded the shows and I loved it.

Wow, not your typical interview. Certainly, one of the best I’ve heard. Enjoyed hearing his take on the cyclic nature of disasters and social ramifications.

Great work Kinsey! I really enjoy this podcast and the information and insights that it provides.

Love this podcast! Thanks for keeping it up and helping us maintain sanity.

Business can be so boring, but morning brew and the business casual podcast makes learning things about business wayyyy easier to understand and far more entertaining than any class I had in college. I feel like I’m just eavesdropping smart people around my age talk. Y’all are crushing it. Thank you!

Kinsey, less vocal fry please.

Kinsey is absolutely the goat, whoever says different clearly has some other issues they have to deal with. Podcast does a great job of addressing relevant topics all while keeping them short and to the point. Great job! Love the morning brew team

During this time of uncertainty it is important to have access to hear prospectives from top business people in the country to make best decisions possible with your business. I'm really enjoying it so far!

I am really enjoying it so far. I enjoy the daily newsletters and this podcast is the cherry on top to the morning brew newsletters. Don’t listen to the troll reviews! Someone saying the host needs a voice therapist!? Entitled mean people. That person should go to a therapist. Anyway, I feel the information is very diverse and not just one sided. This podcast is refreshing and new and it describes things in a way that are easily understood. I will continue listening. Thanks for the good content.

Perhaps consider the business model that inspired weyerhaeuser ideas of chopping down trees, and planting new trees, or leaving natural distasters for scientists and the world to be marveled at for decades, to learn how and what to hope nature to do. Money doesn't grow on trees, neither do socks, but the fruits of labor brought through the fresh air of living trees, is worth every penny.

Kinsey rocks as a host with her inquisitive questions. I am very impressed by her knowledge about business/tech news at such a young age. No matter how awesome and grand the guests may be, Kinsey stands tall along side them and puts on an impressive show. Keep up the great work!
