  • Great Podcast

    I’d highly recommend this podcast. The episode on “Design Thinking for Caregivers” was very interesting. Health care is such an important topic right now, and Tom’s explanation of his growth from introvert to public speaker ace was great to hear about too. I think a wide range of people will enjoy it too.

    If you have the time, I’m also a host of a podcast in manufacturing. Please check out, “The Right Direction Podcast” from Compass Precision.

  • Generally good content, but does not sound great especially at increased speed. Is almost like they record too quietly and then have to bump up the volume afterwards.
