This podcast is a learning opportunity
Just listened to the “origin of morning brew sales” and thought it was fantastic. I started a career in sales about a year ago, and I’m always looking for different perspectives on how to communicate value. Most important lesson here: People respond to people and stories more than they respond to products and features... emotion sells
Review
I love listening to this because Alex takes complex topics and breaks them down into digestible and intriguing 10-12 min stories. Much like his business model with the Morning Brew, I find myself engaged with his content and tuning in to hear his new stories day after day.
Very good
Top notch, great length, honest vulnerable and laying down some truth. Thanks for the great content
Awesome podcast!
Amazing for people who love morning brew and want to learn more about the founder!
So informative
I love listening to The Founder’s Journal. I learn SO much from every single episode. Can’t recommend enough!
Great insights for future business leaders
Incredibly helpful podcast as a first time founder! Thanks for the vulnerability Alex.
Inspiring
I like how inspiring these episodes are because I also hope to work for a start up one day. Also, they’re not too long so they’re like journal entries in audio version.
Great content with actionable insights
It’s always great to hear what companies did to grow but the how is so helpful. Alex does it so well and it feels like I’m talking to a friend (even if I’m just listening.)
Every founder should listen!
Get better everyday
I learn something new in each episode.
This podcast is a great balance between engaging content and educational. I love how open and transparent Alex is. It’s very well thought out and find myself learning a lot. A must listen.
Thanks

Practical Proven Success
I’m so glad I found founders journal!
Alex is everywhere
A friend keyed me to Morning Brew, then I found Alex on LinkedIn, and he’s everywhere, all the time, helping professionals be more authentic, more human.
Uncomplicated insights that anyone can follow
What I love about this podcast is that the diagram for success that Alex shares is simple and authentic. Anyone can follow it, you just have to hustle. These tips are aplicable, regardless of market segment. It is truly inspiring and within reach.
Modern Thought Leadership
I really enjoy listening to Alex pull back the curtain on one of my favorite newsletters. While we may not align 100% of the time, I appreciate Alex’s candor and how he presents his insights. My favorite commentary is the self reflection and critique’s he gives himself. I personally believe there is no better way for a leader to ‘sharpen the saw’ and I enjoy constructive dialogue.
Go overseas?
I wish Brazil had a Morning Brew.
Humbling
Alex is the humbled Founder/ CEO voice I was looking for. We are not perfect humans, let alone leaders. Some of better than others, but we can all learn from each other. Thanks for sharing EVERYTHING and owning your faults (especially being a UM fan). Onward and upward.
Truly Inspiring!
Love this podcast as Alex gives an absolutely true story of his journey both as an entrepreneur and leader of a growing brand. I’d absolutely recommend if you’re looking to get inspired, motivated or thinking to take your career to next steps but not sure where to start.
Real view of a founder’s day-to-day
Alex’s casual, stream-of-consciousness style really takes us into his daily thoughts and gives a real picture of a founder’s day-to-day challenges.
Blueprint to Success
The point of listening to most business podcasts is to get inside the head of CEOs leading high growth startups. Alex does this by giving unfiltered insights in an easily digestible format. A must listen for anyone who wants to build a great business one day.
Best podcast for founders
I love this podcast so much I literally listen to every single week day morning to inspire me with new ideas to help me build my startup. Alex has an amazing way of being vulnerable and sharing personal insights, as well as continuously providing so much value on strategies for building better businesses. Thanks Alex, you’re the man!
Shouting Partial Sentences & Good Insights
This podcast is very insightful for people who are in a similar situation: growing a business for high growth. The one thing that drives me absolutely nuts is the way this guy speaks. It is a combination of what seems like shouting, pausing mid sentence, and absolutely no self doubt.
Ingenious introspection - a must listen!
Alex is one of the smartest and most reflective CEOs. I am always impressed with Alex's ability to thoughtfully take listeners through his every day lessons and experiences. His Founder's Journal is a must-listen for any business professional.
10/10
Alex’s insight and advice is so helpful for a young professional in the workplace!
