Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 50 ratings
  • Not very practical

    The guests are interesting but the host talks way too much. Sounds like a nice chap but waffles on without adding much value. The host should be trying to bring out the best advice and tips from the guest, but this rarely happens so the content rarely lives up to the promise of the show title.

  • Too much empty chatter

    I want this podcast to succeed but unfortunately it’s not very helpful. Just headline chatter. Not much you can learn from listening.
