  • Good one

    Love the show. The host does a great job leading the story, the conversations are useful, I can absolutely relate to a lot of things being said and get a few fresh ideas from almost every episode. The guests are almost all first-hand practitioners, so you’ll hear the real talk, not fluffy managementese. Love the length of the episodes and the tempo as well. Fantastic show, wish it would get updated just a bit more often.
