United States6 years ago - Something for everyone
I went through the graduate program under Dale and it totally changed my perspective/attitude on my career, goals, and life. This podcast has been great at continuing to challenge & make me think outside the box. It’s so easy to slip back into the normal thinking that comes with an 8-5 day job and this podcast is great for keeping me aligned. It’s your life. There’s a world or possibilities out there. Keep up the good work and never stop pressing Dale.

If you want to shift the vector of your career.... and your life, this is the podcast for you. Dale has a way of combining positive and practical constructive criticism with motivation, encouragement and how-to. Company of One flips the tables upside down and will give you a new perspective on self, life, and work. His angles may be unconventional but his results can’t be denied. Of course I may have a bias considering I’m a student of his university executive masters degree program. Since disc... more

Germany11 years ago - Lots of Great Insight
Dale’s podcast is full of wisdom and practical insights not just on entrepreneurship (though there’s tons of that), but also on living a purposeful life. Dale has a refreshing perspective on work and I learn a lot from each episode. You can listen on the run if you want, but to get the most out of his podcast grab a pen and paper so you can take notes! Highly recommended.

Apple Podcasts5RodneyPhillipsUnited States11 years ago - I love the show... I have been inspired...
I love the podcast Dr. Callahan. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur/inventor. Your podcasts are reigniting my entrepreneur spirit. We meet briefly when I was exploring the IEM program at UAB. I am a UAB alumni (2001) that started my educational journey with a desire to have degrees in both computer science and electrical engineering. However, during my sophomore year at the United States Military Academy, I ran into a road block called the laplace transform. I figured I could be a mechan... more

Apple Podcasts5vadzolBelgium11 years ago - Overwhelmed , by Dale Callihan
I really enjoyed listening to Dale’s take on this subject and I think it is a very serious and important one in our culture today. In our society today , being overwhelmed, which can bring on anxiety to maybe depression is a serious subject. People need to learn to be more introspective about themselves and learn how to help themselves handle it rather than paying psychiatrists or turning to pills to get out of those states of mind. As Dale points out, venting can be a short term solution, b... more
