  • Manipulative

    I started listening to an interview and was surprised by the initial monologue (seemed unrelated). But I kept going, when the interview started something felt off as if the interviewer was being manipulative and insincere. I kept listening for another 20 minutes and it felt like he was being condescending. Non of it was overt so I went to look at his website and sure enough- I saw NLP training.

    It felt icky listening to him conduct an interview.

    The topic however, was interesting.

  • A very valuable resource

    Michael is a very good facilitator - I really appreciate his honesty and integrity in revealing his own difficulties which i resonate with.Many great guests- lots to learn- the 10 - 15 minutes of advertisements and monologue at the start and during every episode is a little too much.
