  • Hosting exposed liars

    Chris is a good interviewer, and usually has good guests on. But the fact that he invited Nick Shirley on is beyond insane. Nick was exposed as a fraud, a known liar that produces clickbait. Yet Chris decided it was a good idea to give that conman a platform to spread his propaganda. Ridiculous!

  • Bring back intros

    100% the best self-improvement podcast around. I admire Chris a great deal.

    @ New listeners: Try it.

    @Chris: please bring back introductions rather than diving straight into the middle of the conversation. This is long-form content, not TikTok, and I now spend the first 10mins trying to figure out who your guest is and what on earth they/you are on about. The listener needs context.
