Making things harder, she was introduced onto the stage in a ... more

I have learned a lot from listening to Jay and his guests or case studies. He is candid, generous, and bright. Worth your time.
Jay not only provides an exceptional value to his listeners, but as a guest, it was an exceptional experience for me!
So this is going to sound dramatic, but listening to that particular podcast changed my projection and ultimately my life! Sometimes you just hear the right thing at the right time and it blows your mind. Love this podcast. Thanks for sharing your insights Jay!!
First up - you should know I’m not into podcasts. Listening to learn isn’t my strong point. So when a podcast grabs and more importantly keeps my attention - I pay attention. This podcast is quality throughout from sound production, guest selection, the insightful questions Jay asks.
You will always take away something that makes you better at telling stories.
Love your work Jay! 😀
I’ve been bingeing this podcast since I discovered it, little under 1 month ago. I love Jay’s style, the production, the soundtracks, but MOST of all the analysis of stories. Each episode brings new guests who regale their signature stories, followed by keen observations and discussion on what worked and where the magic happens. It’s an intellectual listen and it goes way deeper into storytelling and public speaking than I’ve heard anywhere else. Each episode is packed full of gold. I’ve no... more
