  • Giulia Enders interview was brilliant!

    Had read her book before and it change my life! So grateful she went against the grain to teach us on how it works and what they know so far! Loved hearing her talk over her findings and give advice and opinions on many topics we all want direction on!

  • Brilliant

    Great podcast with so many exceptional talks worth multiple listens. However be prepared to be frustrated at the end by the audience. Who no matter how often they are explicitly told to ask a short direct question, instead choose to launch into rambling comments that use up all the time for questions while the moderators desperately try to politely get things back on track.
