- Love the show…
I love the show and purpose and the stories. Constructive criticism?…it’s distracting to have the guest interrupted. Let them tell the story without interrupting. I’m still giving 5 stars!

Luke is incredibly easy to talk to and genuinely interested in his guests’ stories. He’s the real deal, open, authentic, and willing to share his own experiences in a way that deepens the conversation. The result is an honest, comfortable dialogue that feels meaningful rather than performative.

Thanks for this well articulated account of your own story and for the work you're doing here. Hearing the stories others tell helps us all be gentler and more understanding whether we've experienced trauma ourselves or not.
