S3 E4: LIVE From The Whalies - Serta Goes Bankrupt, Nik’s Long Wknd Mistakes, Plus A Q&A Session

Nik and Moiz come to you live from The Whalies.

This is Triple Whale’s two-day part hangout, part award show held in Austin, Texas, where Limited Supply scooped the Best Podcast award.

But Nik and Moiz have more on their minds than awards as they dig into why Serta’s debt sunk them and how it could have been avoided, what Nik would have done differently with Long Wknd, and answering some of the big DTC questions from the audience.
