  • I just can’t

    I’ve listened off and on for a few years and the self-indulgence has gotten progressively worse. I’m happy that he is on this journey but please don’t build a bus. Perhaps his inability to do his self work without public comment is more telling than anything else. Last episode was my nail in the coffin✌🏻

  • Distracting Feedback

    I tried to listen to the latest two episodes (Buddhist Monks and the most important skill) and there was terrible feedback both times. I had to stop listening. Is it just me? Content started off really good through!

  • For Repeats, please indicate in the title

    Many podcasts will re-release an old episode, but they are kind enough to indicate that it’s a re-released episode in the title of that episode. A few times now I have gone to listen to an episode and then after listening to advertisements and a little bit of an introduction Dan finally mentions that the episode was previously released. It’s a waste of my time and quite frustrating. Please include “ICYMI” or something similar in the title. Thank you.
