  • Love the podcast, hate the add

    Michael is a great interviewer, one of my favorite actually but it’s very annoying the amount of times the conversation is interrupted by advertisements. A lot of fast forwarding required.

    Update 2025 November

    Slowly the podcast host has been getting more and more egotistical. He interrupts guests with his thoughts , which he often changes to match the guests, and comes across as condescending and overly self absorbed. Also I still can’t handle the ridiculous amount of ads and promotions.

  • Great content. Too many ads

    Love the content and have been listening for a long time. Have noticed the number of ads go up, what feels to be exponentially.

  • I listen to this podcast every week. The insight and stories are really helpful and I look forward to every weekly episode. Thst said, I didn't give it five stars across the board Because the advertisements are excessive. Every episode is interrupted three or four times with a couple of minutes of ads and it gets really annoying. I understand that the podcast needs to be monetized, but I just wish the ads were scaled back a little bit.
