Unsolicited Biz Advice” is where industry veterans Ian Ash, Steve Mast and their occasional guests perform strategic surgery on one company per episode, delivering the unvarnished truth about what’s holding businesses back and how they could dominate their markets. Unlike typical business podcasts that skim the surface of multiple topics, we go deep on a single company—dissecting everything from Jaguar’s identity crisis to ON Running’s market positioning. Then we do something radical: we send the CEO a detailed letter outlining exactly what we’d do in their shoes. It’s part strategic intervention, part masterclass in business transformation, delivered with the candor of conversations that usually happen behind closed boardroom doors. For listeners, it’s a front-row seat to how seasoned operators diagnose business problems and prescribe solutions that cut through the corporate BS. No platitudes. No consultant-speak. Just the advice these companies shoul
