  • Not enough depth or detail

    Lacks depth. Very much story focused. Doesn’t get into the nitty gritty of operating a business, or strategy. Therefore not very relevant or useful.

  • Fantastic content

    Listen to this on the way to work. Love the fact it’s not scripted and comes with life lessons and meanings. Interview with Stelios was very intriguing.

    Jake, these podcasts are amazing and the latest really resonates with me in terms of who I am and my why, which incidentally I don’t know due to lots of changes the last 5 years, including divorce, retirement, the loss of one of my brothers and more recently both my parents. Life goes on and these podcasts really help. Thank you
