  • How to talk, how to listen, how to relax

    I’m not one of those people who hate Mondays, but some times I have really bad days at work. Seeing this podcast in my feed always fixes a bad Monday.

    David talks the way I want a friend to talk to me and when I get the chance to talk to my friends, I hope I sound as friendly, supportive, and genuine as he does. Thanks for making me a better person.

  • Lots of interesting fun

    It’s great to listen to people like yourself talking about the things you love. You can hear the way they’ve handled problems you’ve had or the similar experiences.

    Or listen about something you don’t yet do but want to try, it’ll help you get out there and do it.
