  • Kat Colling’s voice…NO

    I actually think this is a wonderful podcast overall but every time they let Kat Collings speak, it’s time to switch off. This woman sounds like she has peanut butter stick in the back of her mouth. Sorry for the low rating but please no more.

  • Inspiring!

    Thank you for sharing so many inspiring stories! It’s expanded my perception of what could be and how even the most successful women have felt imposter syndrome. They chose to brave and bold anyways, betting on themselves!

    Can we please have an episode on Hillary’s story?!

  • Generally solid but sometime misses

    These guests are such gets and even if we know a brand or a product, I still want to know the backstory. Like how did Pistola get its name? May seem like common knowledge but what keeps me listening is the story. When it's missing I feel like not only is it a lost opportunity but it makes this show sound like everything else out there.
