  • Hit and miss

    Shane has a couple of excellent interviews in the midst of a lot of less than insightful content. If I’m really honest, I’m not sure that the character dissection episodes really land that well. It’s difficult to commit to the episodes as a listener as I find them hard work. I much prefer the actual interviews with guests. He should probably return to that form of content to be honest.

  • Simply my Favorite Pod

    Not sure what all the recent review hate is about I think Shane’s pod has on improved over time. I find Shane to be great interviewer and super easy to listen to which gets coupled nicely with the right guest. Not every episode is my topic of choice, I dont find interest in every guest but geez when is that ever the case with anything? My only wish is that episode releases were on more consistent schedule.

How to Think Like a World-Class Marketer | Rory Sutherland
Q: What are the rules of good copy? If I asked you to teach me how to write good copy, how would you do that?
Write conversationally, use verbs of movement more than adjectives, and ensure clarity.
Panera Founder Ron Shaich
Q: What is success for you?
Self-respect. Ironically, to me, success is looking at myself and knowing I have built the best life that I know how to build.
Panera Founder Ron Shaich
Q: How do you develop the long-term thinking that you've brought to all these different concepts?
It just makes sense to me. I mean, it just seems logical, right? Like if I want to start out and figure out where I'm trying to be in five years and 10 years, and what's it going to take me to get there?
