    First Class Founders is by far the most energizing entrepreneurship show I’ve ever encountered! Not only does Yong-Soo connect listeners with incredible guests and explore his own personal insights, but he does so in a fast-paced, beautifully produced package. It’s such an engaging and impactful listen - genuinely cannot recommend this show enough!

    Great content and production
    I’ve been binging these podcasts. Thank you for putting all these together, and for the quality of the production. Makes them enjoyable to listen to. I listen while walking, and then have to get back to my desk and write down copious notes. Loving it.

    The Ultimate Podcast for Entrepreneurs and Content Creators
    Yong-Soo's story is inspiring. He has the best processes in place. If there is someone you should learn about systems and processes, it is him! This podcast offers the most detailed breakdowns, tips, and tricks for tackling the most complicated tasks that set you up for success as an entrepreneur, solopreneur, or content creator. I am tempted to write individual reviews for most episodes because that's how great some of them are. The production quality of this podcast is exceptional, through the roof! I don't particularly enjoy listening to people who just riff on their podcasts. If you have limited time and preferences similar to mine, you would appreciate the production quality of this podcast even more. Another aspect I enjoy: There is a whoosh or swish sound effect when he makes a good point. The reason why this is great is that it keeps me, the listener, highly entertained. When I hear those sounds every time the podcaster makes a good point, it trains my brain to anticipate those moments. It becomes a mini-game in my head. "Let me see if I can predict the next sound effect based on how important this point was." As a listener, I tend to pay close attention to those moments. It has worked great for me! Engaged learning is a huge win! The sound bites from this podcast are perfectly crafted and repeated just enough times. I can go on and on about this podcast. I love it! I cannot recommend it enough to my friends :)

    Great responsive guy. Keep up the short bursts of ideas
    I recently discovered Yong-Soo Chung’s podcasts and I like it! The host is a budding podcaster I met on Twitter and each episode is only about 15 minutes long, but packed with valuable information and insights on entrepreneurship. One of the things I love about this podcast is the host's authenticity and willingness to share his own experiences and challenges as an entrepreneur. He asks great questions that really delve into his journey and what he's learned along the way. As a small business owner myself, I've found the tips and strategies shared on this podcast to be extremely helpful and applicable to my own business. The host has a great energy and keeps the conversations engaging and interesting. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in entrepreneurship or looking for practical advice on how to grow and succeed in their business. The host is a rising star in the podcasting world and I can't wait to see what he has in store for future episodes. Keep up the great work!
