  • A great listen!

    I recently was introduced to The Daily Grind podcast and I am hooked! As a college student in Wisconsin, I love how niche these leaders and guests are on the show. I loved the episode with Rebecca M Zornow, learning about the daily tasks and different projects and events a writer does aside from simply “writing.”

    As a senior in college, I found this podcast to be a very good listen. Daily Grind shows me all the different paths people take to strive for their own passions and gives me hope for my post-grad life! It is light-hearted yet professional, engaging, and informative. This podcast motivates me to continue my own daily grind after each listen. Definitely will continue to tune in!

  • Wonderful host and great experience!

    I had such a great time being Kelly’s guest on her podcast! She made me feel completely at ease — her questions were insightful, and our conversation flowed so naturally. I don’t always feel comfortable during interviews, but this one was genuinely enjoyable, and I loved sharing my story with her audience!

It always leaves me feeling motivated to keep pushing toward my own goals. Definitely worth subscribing to if you’re looking ... more

  • Really motivational!

    I really enjoyed the episode with Adam Rosen! He really shared a lot of great information about his journey in entrepreneurship, and he really encouraged me (even as a college student) that I can still start the process! I really appreciated his point about simplicity- even though I definitely have lots of ideas in my mind, it’s important to take things one step at a time without compromising your core values!
