  • Stop saying “mmhmm”

    Overall, I love this podcast, but please stop saying “mmhmm” every few seconds. I don’t think you intend this, but you sound very impatient when you do that, and it’s distracting. I have a hard time concentrating on what your guests are saying because I just keep thinking, “Is he annoyed at them?”

  • Episodes abruptly end halfway thru - lazy editing of recycled content

    I understand that they are recycling webinar content, and that is OK with me. But very often, the content just ends halfway through.

But then it literally ends halfway through the steps. Almost comically, the last line of the episode is: “All right. After projects, what next? Checklists.”

    The end.

    Again, I understand that the c... more

    Anna Marie’s voice and tone is so grating. She sounds like a scolding know it all and half the time her advice doesn’t make sense. Keep John Forrester, please replace Anna Marie!! Too much!
