More from the comments

Every single episode has been great and many of them aren't purely tech companies which is a nice change from other startup podcasts.

The "How I Built This" is an incredibly well done podcast. ... I highly recommend!

Highly recommend the podcast. At first I cherry-picked the interviews I thought I would be interested in, but they are all good, regardless of the company or industry.
