  • Very dry

    Tried to listen to a few episode but it really feels too rehearsed, dry and somewhat impersonal.. also the information seemed to come from people that either have switched careers quite some time ago, haven’t switched career yet or had a lot of money saved up or came from lucrative careers. I was looking for more “normal” stories with everyday people, but I didn’t really find it here.
