  • Mayonnaise

    Thank you for your work and your generosity. I’ve devoured each episode of ReThinking and “re listened” many times. Also a huge fan of Work Life. Just finished Think Again and all I want is to hear you pronounce “mayonnaise”!

  • High energy

    I cannot listen to podcasts with too high energy people and too many annoying ads. Introversion and high sensitivity is a thing. I wish rethinking didn’t always go one way.

  • Derailed by Ads

    I really wanted to love this podcast – the content had potential, and the host seemed engaging. But the constant interruptions with ads have completely ruined the flow. It feels like every few minutes I’m being sold something, and it’s gotten to the point where I’m more frustrated than informed. I’m all for supporting creators, but this is just excessive. Sadly, I’m about to quit listening.

  • Adam is a gem

    I have just listened to the Matthew McC interview. Thank goodness Adam was the interviewer because he was able to make sense of the conversation with MMC. Adam has a talent & genius for pulling things together & clarifying the answer.

Q: How prevalent are these traits among CEOs and politicians, and does that explain their success or failure?
