  • An inspiration

    Well-structured interviews that are long enough to get into the details and short enough for easy digestion.

    The way this podcast dives into little individual victories and motivations is a joy to listen to. It makes an otherwise professional and abstract topic personal and inspiring.

    Keep them coming!
