  • Inspires me to be well and do well

    Ken is a great/dynamic interviewer and I’ve enjoyed his guest choices so far. The whole podcast is well paced and timed (not too long, not too short). The closing, be well and do well, makes me smile at the end of every episode! Can’t wait for season two!

  • Meh

    If you like cliches and buzzwords from the admissions world this is the podcast for you. It really gets wild when they delve into “self care Sunday’s,” and “really loving music” its hard to find content like this elsewhere.

  • Good content, but...

    It sounds as if someone is scratching on paper through much of it. Makes it difficult to focus on what they’re saying.
