After attending the Intentional Leadership and the Master Leader and Presenter classes (I HIGHLY recommend both! They will change your life and how you view leadership!), I have listened to this podcast on a more frequent basis than before. It’s like I’m in class all over again but without getting to speak.

I just met Kelly today in Randolph Massachusetts. Dean was teaching a class that I heard from cops was an outstanding class. Although I have followed Dean and his work including his book, I had not heard of the podcast until today. Simply put I listened to a couple of episodes and it is outstanding.

I was a student of your on FBI LEEDA and enjoyed one of your milestones in Lewisville, Texas.
Your lessons are great and the leadership advice you give is definitely it in the BS zone.
Keep up the great success at LHLN and this podcast.
Dean is truly no BS. I have been fortunate to have him for several classes. This podcast is building on each episode. If you truly want to be better there is something for any leader in each episode.
I was student of Dean Crisp in the FBI LEEDA course and I have continued to follow him as he grows more leaders around our nation and especially in the area of law-enforcement. This podcast tackles the crucial elements of leadership and I look forward to the next.
