Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 469 ratings
  • Good interviews with entertainers

    Many good nuggets of wisdom from people in the biz, sharing their life stories. In general recommended. Obviously relatable if you’re trying to start a similar career, and maybe applicable if you’re training to become a specialist. Personally I relate more with Raz’s other shows on founders and business leaders.
