Customer Reviews
Bes Hour of MY day
This podcast is an incredible listen. The content is always top shelf, but each episode I feel like I leave with something I can do better during my next coaching session. Also, you know how you love a podcast and they only release an episode like, once a month. They pump out new episodes every week. It’s the best!
Great show
Awesome podcast! And amazing guests, finally someone had Chuck on!
Amazing show!
Thanks to the Jason’s for bringing a great package of information and entertainment full of knowledge bombs. So informative. New episodes are immediately added to my “play next”. Keep up the great work!
