United States3 years ago - Brilliant & A Must
Dr Denanyoh is a brilliant, eloquent & passionate orator; who is paying it forward. Many have a misconception that, companies and/or law firms are successful because of the top tier. Mostly true, but not totally. It's ALL those employees who are daily in the weeds, woods, delegating, keeping order, managing and putting our daily fires; that keeps the office functioning at a level of greatness. We're talking about Contract Specialists, Paralegals, Office Managers, Clerks, Secretaries, the Mailroo... more

Folks, this podcast is appointment-listening. Kyla is an energetic, compassionate host who really brings out fascinating and intriguing tidbits from her guests. Also, production-wise, it’s smooth listening. Very polished final product; I’m sure there’s a lot of skillful editing behind the scenes that Kyla also deserves credit for! — Brian D.G.
Apple Podcasts5Brian D.G.United States4 years ago This is a superb podcast! Kyla is a warm and friendly host, yet at the same time a very professional interviewer. Lawyers will love this podcast. But non-lawyers ("civilians") will love it too! A great change of pace in a world (and podcast universe) that is so focused on snark and negativity.
