Great podcast to listen whenever I feel a bit down! Keep up the good work Sydney. Hears to hoping to listen many more of such amazing inspirational stories. Love the structure of this podcast so please keep it as is including the simplified summary and language used.
… exactly what I love about a good podcast.
I just find that the outro’s are a bit redundant, over simplified.
“Never give up no matter what, only loosers do” is lacking a bit of nuance.
Apart from that great podcast!
The subject matter is intriguing…but I can’t get beyond the voice/narrator .. sorry had to turn it off
Terry is the Arch Mage of audio marketing and the creator of literally perfect podcasts (with his radio broadcast mad skills) so it’s surprising that Sidney continues to record audio ending every sentence with vocal fry. Every thing else is perfect. Get a vocal coach. They need work, too. Pursue healthy vocal delivery and you will have achieved the highest level of your father’s craft. Or I’m just old and need to take a seat.
