Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael Gervais

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.

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.

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.

I really like this podcast but almost never listen to if because there are way too many ads dispersed throughout. It breaks the flow of conversation and it’s just annoying. It also comes across as greedy as though the sole purpose of the podcast is to make money as opposed to information sharing. Consider putting most of the ads at the beginning of the podcast as others do. I am sure I’m not alone when I say I would be more likely to listen every week if this podcast had less frequent ads.
