  • Amazing Podcast

    I stumbled upon AoM by pure chance and I’m so glad I did. Brett, as well as his wife, do an amazing job. The topics are always refreshing and new and just relevant to where I am in my life and perfect in nick of time for a mental pick me up. I am so thankful I found AoM. It is a calming and informative presentation of great information while keeping you interested. Give it a listen!

  • Amongst the best

    Truely, one of the most well crafted podcasts with a lot of love to detail and determinism. I’d love to listen to more old episodes with reworked sound though
