MSP On Deck Podcast

@mspbjGrayson + @mnheadhunter + @casey__allen The only deep diving podcast covering 100% Minnesota, 100% startups, 100% tech.
Now retired but we had 🔥 times.

@mspondeck @casey__allen Great episode. Infinitely more interesting than Tech DOT San Diego MN - @StartupMJackson & @aarpangelsmn are the most compelling podcast mysteries since @serial. We'll miss U @mspbjGrayson!

[MSP On Deck Podcast @mspondeck]

NEW episode 28!

We riff about our podcast's first (and saddest) exit*, the origin story of @mspondeck, we all share our big 2019 plans, and what's next for the podcast.

*No IPOs. One of us is leaving the show. =(

I missed these people (@casey__allen & @graysonk)... the band got together again for a @mspondeck podcast. Lots of changes for all of us. Look for the link next week to hear what is coming next #MNtech #StartupLife

[MSP On Deck Podcast @mspondeck]

We're on a brief hiatus right now, likely for a few more weeks.

Until then, get caught up on past episodes since much of our convos are evergreen.
