This podcasts makes you think, it makes you laugh, and it makes you learn. I do not see a much better combination for any piece of content anywhere out there! The host is able to highlight key inflection points throughout the guests life, and in doing this reveals the key lessons, anecdotes and reasons why this person is where she or he is today!
Eric’s podcast is a testament to the work he does at The Creator Institute, generously and brilliantly instructing young people across the country in strategic career development. The brilliance I see in personal interactions with him comes through clearly here. Highly recommend.
