Customer Reviews
Malkoff is a genius!
His real gift is his ability to stay focused on the subject at hand. Where other interview shows get bogged down with ego or performance, Malkoff and his guests discuss what they say they’re going to.
Excellent classroom resource
I think the first time I encountered Mark Malkoff's amazing work was when I watched a YouTube video where he raced a Manhatten Transit Authority bus with his Big Wheel trike. **SPOLIER** He won. He also won my attention so I took in his other grand projects and connected with him on Facebook. He is genuinely an approachable person who is generous with his time, talent and treasure. His most recent successful project is the Persistence 360 podcast. After listening to my first episode, I knew I benefitted from the experience and wanted to share Mark with others. I teach Business Leadership and Management through eLearning and I know my students will benefit from listening to Mark's podcast. His most recent episode with James Altucher impressed me so much that it was clear I could use this podcast series with my eLearning Computer Sciences courses. If you are in education, an academic or a K-12 teacher, you will find value in each episode for your students. Mark's outro with his 3 take aways from the interview and his question for the listener set up these episodes to be excellent resources for the classroom, whether it be flipped, blended, traditional or through eLearning. I'm going to ask my students for their 3 take aways from each episode then ask them to tie those to the content of the course of study. Give him a listen and be prepared to be inspired.
Great new Addition to Podcast Library
Became a big fan of Mark Malkoff’s interviewing style after listening to hundreds of hours of his excellent “The Carson Podcast” where he speaks to just about everyone who had known, worked with, appeared with or appreciated Johnny Carson and The Tonight Show. He has become one of my favourite hosts in the podcast medium because (like Johnny Carson) his curiosity and willingness to listen to guests always takes centre stage. You get to know someone new every week and you walk away introduced to new perspectives. Persistence 360 is a perfect fit for his enthusiasm and his energy. It’s a great listen on the way to work, to meetings, to interviews no matter how you make a living or what you’re pursuing. In a world that feels more competitive every day, Persistence 360 is filled with positive reminders on how to keep going, that setbacks are part of the journey, that if you believe in or you love what you do the journey itself is worth it.
