  • I’ve never RE-listened to a podcast until now.

    I am an avid podcast listener, who does most of my listening during commutes. This means I don’t always have the ability to write anything down. This podcast is so good that I have added it to my morning, pre-commute ritual so that I can keep a list of ideas or thoughts that I want to revisit. Prior to my schedule change I found myself listening to the episodes twice!

  • Always learning.

    As someone who started in the professional world in the mid 80’s, I’m a regular listener to Jason’s podcasts and I’m reading my way through his books, and I have yet to spend 20 minutes in which I don’t learn something new. Jason’s research and humor keep the content interesting. I’m always excited for the next podcast.
