Beyond the main discussion, we touch on the state of podcast interviewing, effective networking strategies at conferences, and Alex's creative outlet of making memes. Alex also opens up about his personal values and how they shape his approach to business and life.

Tweetable Quotes

"I have this respect for what podcasting is and the way that information is delivered. I love to learn that way. Beyond that, I have some core convictions. Loving and serving people is at the core of who I am."
"We've seen it in the business growth as well. When we had all the things, you think multiplication versus addition. But the reality is, the more narrow focused I've gotten, the better it's done."
"I'm not saying I wish I could go back. I'm just saying I really enjoyed that time. I took a lot of very small lessons, a lot of very big lessons learned along the way."
