4.5 out of 5 stars from 74 ratings
  • Zero Substance

    I really tried hard to like this podcast for so many reasons, but the Aubrey Marcus episode was the final straw.

    First, Blake touts that he doesn’t take sponsorships to advertise on his podcast, but then bluntly advertises his own products and investments, plugging them throughout his conversations with guests. This just lacks ethics and transparency.

    Second, he evangelizes that with mental health, there is no magical pill. But then he invites Aubrey Marcus onto his show, who is all about ma... more

  • Interviewer/interrupter

    Great guests on this show but the host constantly interrupts them mid thought to share his personal experience. I’m not sure if it’s just the women guests but I could hardly finish listening to the one episode. Hopefully this feedback lands and can help.

  • I believe this podcast will help save lives

    Thank you for sharing your story Blake and bringing more light to this crisis. I don’t know how many suicides I have investigated in which someone would look at that persons life and think they had everything and there was no understanding of the depth of their pain or why they would leave the world that way. I pray that everyone that has hustled to the top only to find emptiness and despair finds your podcast. We are all enough and we are also all connected. 💗

  • No Magic Pill. Just the Mirror!

    Love this Podcast from Blake Mycoskie—No Magic Pill feels like an honest look at what it means to be lost and the instinct to chase external markers for happiness or success. I spent 45 years trying to outrun my father’s path and ended up losing myself—turns out what you’re looking for isn’t out there, it’s already inside, and that’s enough.
