  • The most trust worthy interviewer!

    Ian’s vast knowledge, attuned presence, and intuition seem to guide him in conducting the most powerful interviews! Unlike so many Podcasters, he doesn’t seem driven by a need to prove anything and gives his guests plenty I have space to share.

  • Thought provoking conversations!

    Ian's skillful interviewing style allows his guests to share their unique perspectives and experiences in an authentic and engaging manner. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, from the role of mythology in shaping our understanding of masculinity to the challenges and opportunities of creating a more inclusive and equitable society. I like that it's not interrupted with A LOT of mid-roll ads!
