  • This is a must watch show!

    Fantastic show. Lisa does a wonderful job creating a space for an entertaining and insightful conversation. Some podcasts are just an extension of the host's ego. Not Lisa. She genuinely wants to share value with the viewers. And is not only good at getting value out of her guests, but understands how to give that space so great things surface.

  • Amazing Host!

    I had an amazing time on the show. Lisa is one of the very few hosts/hostesses who isn’t afraid to talk about difficult topics and go down dark roads. It was a lot of fun having actual meaningful conversations, and hopefully helpful and enlightening to the viewer. I’m really looking forward to seeing her again next month!
