A huge amount of insight in a short amount of time

I can’t remember the last time I found a podcast so impactful and so useful. Many of the difficult conversations recounted here will stick with me forever - on an emotional level. As for the learnings that each interviewee breaks down, there are lessons here that I’ll carry with me into every conversation I enter from now on - not just the difficult ones. A thoughtful and essential resource, especially in time’s like these.
