Love this podcast! At first I thought wow why is the intro so long when is the interview coming but then I realized it’s not. (love it though!!)
I love that the podcast is real and not overloaded with advertisements.
I started with episode one, currently listening to 23 and couldn’t be happier to know that there 400 more for me to go through. I have always loved stories of real people, most of my favorite movies are about human stories and their lives. This podcast is simply perfect for me. A rare gem for sure
Not that bad 🛁
I’ve gleaned a lot from listening to this podcast. I’ve even shared it with my teenage boys who are searching for what’s next in their life. Kudos to Mohnish Pabrai for recommending it.
simply one of the best, all-around
