I owe everything to the mentors who helped me in my career and academic journey. I take away little pieces of info and advice from each episode. This is a great podcast!
Alexi is a wonderful conversationalist, thinker, empath and all around good human. I recommend this podcast for all ages but especially for people in their late teens / early 20s. Alexi discusses a lot of important life lessons!
No exaggeration, the host says the word “right?” about 200 times per episode and becomes much more of a distraction than anything and pulls away from the stories at hand. I wish the editors would take out half of the “rights” so people like me can continue to listen to some incredible stories.
I love how she interviews and brings a different t perspective with her background. I have a large appetite for knowledge and this is definitely what I need. I highly recommend and look forward to more episodes.
great vibes and grateful for the guests!!
