Informative and challenging

Code Story brings the insights, struggles, and inspiration of tech entrepreneurs and CTOs to you. If you've wondered what's behind some of the apps and platforms you use every day, Code Story gives you a peek into the process and people behind them. The journeys of the guests on this program will both inspire you, challenge you, and if you're on the same path as they are, comfort you. I found myself reflecting on my own practices and wanting to go build something entirely new after listening to an episode. Part of the magic here is that the stories of these entrepreneurs are compelling in and of themselves, and Noah gives his guests the room to share them. At the same time, Noah has shared many of their struggles, so he guides and encourages his guests to open up and honestly share the difficult parts of the journey, too, so you're not just getting the rosy, marketing version of a company's founding. Give this podcast a shot if you're at all interested in tech or startups, or even if you're just a creator of some sort looking for inspiration.

Technical and Enjoyable

A valuable resource for anyone in the technical/start-up space! Thoughtful questions on strategy, coding and inspiration answered by leaders in the industry who’ve made it happen.

LabhaEri Apple Podcasts

Yeah, this is a good one.

Stories straight from the trenches. You don't usually get these types of stories without the hype and self-promotion that usually comes with many podcast circles. Noah does a great job of getting these real stories told.

Great intervews

This isn't a normal interview podcast! Noah did his homework before our call, asked great questions, and weaved my answers into a really nice narrative. If he asks you to be a guest, I highly recommend it!
