    Delightful show
    The work that goes into the show really shines through can’t wait for the next one

    Great podcast!!
    I manage all my own investments and a few of your episodes have given me the conviction to make big bets which are paying off and step away from a couple investments I wanted to make and then you rescued me. Keep it up! Which I could put my portfolio in a suggestion box and have you do each stock!
  • KHAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
    Fantastic.
    If the hosts/producer reads this, please do an episode on Microstrategy. It would be extremely interesting. Great podcast!

    Great Show, 1 Recommendation
    Think it’s amazing that you are doing this and I have learned a bunch. I would recommend adding more distressed businesses / troubled business models so people can learn about why business go bad. Would also try to get bear case more pronounced for each episode.

    One of the best
    This is probably one of the best if not the best podcast series I’ve ever heard. The podcasts are informative, interesting, well researched and presented in a well rounded manner. The topics and businesses covered are wide ranging and relevant. There’s many businesses most of us have heard about it and many that are not. Well curated with interesting guests and great interviewers. Well done business breakdowns. Gold standard on how to do these type of podcasts. Highly recommended.

    Primers on businesses
    The podcast helps you understand how businesses function, how they make money, where they stand from a competitive perspective, etc. With it basically impossible to avoid business, the podcast basically it’s a source of understanding how the world works that I wish has been democratizing knowledge when I was a kid, although better late than never!

    New episodes are more interesting
    This podcast is great. I really enjoyed the last two episodes, and would like to continue to see more questions inserted into the episode as compared to the GE episode, and more new young maybe overlooked companies like Trader Joe’s.

    Insightful deep dives with thoughtful questions
  • pantlu1591
    Average content
    Good content, audio quality is lackluster. No real storytelling. Banker banter. The LVMH episode is one of the worst I’ve ever heard
  • consciousdave
    Great business podcast
    They do a good job of bringing on analysts and others with lots of insight and experience. They usually do big companies and publicly traded if I’m not mistaken. They’re always very interesting and the questions cover just about everything you’d need to know to make an investment. Would recommend to those into business analysis and investing

    NYT pulitzer prizes were fraud in 1930s
    The Pulitzer Prizes won for fake reporting during Stalin's starvations in 1930s should be highlighted by your podcast. Nobody cares NYT has double the Pulitzer Prizes when those helped cover up Ukranian genocide by Stalin.

    Screw Labor
    This podcast, Business Breakdown, basically picks their top business’s in how they screw over labor. I get business is business but I think how Business Breakdown discounts labor is shameful.

  • Reelbusy
    One of the smartest podcast series you will ever listen to
    This is a smart show. They really dive into their subject matter. The revelations of business operations techniques theories and practices is a must for any entrepreneur or business person today. It is a must for investors also. If you were thinking about putting your money in any company this show has covered the episode on it is a must listen before you click the button and buy the stock

    Colossus does it again!
    Incredibly thoughtful and “unexpected” information about a wide range of businesses. Absolutely love it!
  • j-bird1235
    Business Breakdowns is awesome
    Episodes are full of great insight and are a perfect mix of not too deep but not so bland that you dont learn anything. You should do one on some of the big franchises like great clips, dunkin, or ups store.
  • Kurt from Seattle
    Good but Surface Level
    I only listened to the Ali Baba podcast. While good, I was surprised there was no mention of Chinese anti-trust investigations, that Jack Ma was essentially put on house arrest for three months, or regulatory concerns on Ant Financial. There are a lot of interesting questions swirling right now on the company and really we didn’t cover any of those.
  • Luvman79
    So far useless...
    You broke down the obvious and biggest names in the industry. Shopify was of no use because the interview was unicorns and fairy tales. Zero self thought. You can’t break down a business like that. I think Shopify, Alibaba, Chipotle are great, but that ship has already sailed. How about a challenge like Wabash or Checkpoint software. Anything but the CNBC copycat.

    Automatic listen
    Colossus the leading business podcast group IMO, setting the standard for what great content can be (and I'm a producer for a different show) This business breakdown ep 1 was incredible. Cheers to many more.

    This is high quality content! So much knowledge shared with listeners. Thank you for all your efforts being the best in what you do!
  • curious_investor_4467
    This podcast is a game changer
    It’s a perfect way for me to collect and evaluate enough details about the featured companies that I can confidently form my own investment theses. Talk about an incredible efficiency unlock in information consumption. Patrick and the team have once again produced some of the highest quality content on the web. Looking forward to what’s next.
  • MER803
    Impressive podcast
    Impressive new podcast series. Tough to find that type of deep dive in a dense audio format (I’m not sure it exists elsewhere). Loving the Colossus platform thus far.
  • DamianB33

  • zbf1290
