Sean, just thank you for sharing. The way that you capture and deliver deeply authentic stories. Just Wow!

Something Shifted is an incredibly important podcast! Sean expertly creates an atmosphere that “feels” open and safe - and both Sean and his guests offer this incredible vulnerability - and I tend to cry at least once throughout each listen. Not because it’s ‘sad’ - but it’s just open, honest, beautiful conversations that move you - that shift something in you. It’s a really beautiful, important show. Thank you, Sean!

Clear, simple and extremely relatable. It could have lasted another 2 hours and it would have been super interesting and never boring.
I am sure it has helped many people to relate to the matter and inspired to seek answers,
Well done Sean. A clear, easy to access podcast: with a world class quality sound and an amazing, familiar voice. Perfect companion for car drive.
I look forward to each weeks release. Listening to the questions asked of each guest, really helps me think about my own stand point and where I’m going.
The upbeat flow of the conversation makes it easy to listen to.
It’s exciting to get a sneak peak into how people are thinking and what drives them.
