  • Quality guests but poor audio quality

    Interesting topics and discussions. On some episodes however, the audio quality is so poor which makes it hard to enjoy. I couldn’t finish the last episode because of it.

  • Real truth about Flow

    I went through the Flow Reaearch Collective’s program - Zero to Dangerous in 2022. I have to say, they are the real deal when teaching how to achieve Flow states. I regularly implement the lessons and strategies I learned in FRC.

    Also, in this podcast, they actually talk the truth about finding intrinsic Flow states (not chasing external material bulls*%t that all the other podcasts focus on).
