  • The Podcast is as Great as Ever!

    Cliff, just listened to episode 479 and it brought back such great memories. The episode was excellent along with the value and actionable ideas you’ve always provided.

  • Like an Old Friend Has Returned

    I started listening to Cliff’s original version of this show back in 2012. It’s what inspired me to produce my own podcast “Evolution Talk” and multiple audio dramas. Hearing Cliff’s return to ‘Podcast Answer Man’ is like catching up with an old friend.
