Customer Reviews
Opening up
Great podcast and fantastic interviewing style. Michael gets real insight from every guest with his curiosity and methodical approach. So many guests to choose from so there is something for everyone.
Ray Dalio
It’s deeply disappointing that a professional psychologist would feature Ray Dalio and not even address the well documented, profoundly disturbing psychological damage he inflicted on the people who worked for him - which he justifies simply by saying they made money. Or, that his fund abandoned his ‘principles’ as soon as they could because they didn’t work. Listening to a psychologist who entertains a discussion about Myers-Briggs without saying it’s thoroughly debunked loses all credibility.
Finding Advertisements
I don’t know about mastery, but you’ll certainly find advertisements!
Jokes aside, I there’s a lot of useful and thought provoking information in the interviews. The advertisements, however, have become excessive and distracting.
