  • Best podcast I’ve listened to in a long

    Lisa is a fantastic interviewer! She has a way of getting her guests to open up and share interesting stories you won’t hear anywhere else. I love how she actually listens and also asks great follow-up questions instead of just sticking to a script. The interviews are natural and authentic, and she clearly does her homework. Must listen!

  • Amazing when you listen, amazing when you participate

    To me, The Future of XYZ is where “possibilitarians” meet to imagine a brighter future. I was honored to be interviewed by Lisa and felt like she had rolled the red carpet for me. You know that a podcast is really great when you experience something special not only as a listener, but also as a guest. Amazing show! Keep up the great work for our community, Lisa!
