Customer Reviews
Great stuff
I love the 7 step bullet proof problem solving process, and would love more of these type of episodes. It made me buy the book.
While some reviews appear not to like the vocabulary of the podcast, it has taught me a fair few words I did not know and would like to adopt.
Keep up the great work.
Seven Steps
I also bought the book after listening to the podcast.
Arrogant speakers..... unprofessional
*episode about performance of Corporate China*
I find it unfortunate that scientific findings are presented in such a derogative tone. It almost sounds like the presenter is cynical about corporate China performing below expectations. I detect an undertone, which I very much dislike. That’s the reason I stopped listening. I think you should make sure the tone of your podcast is unbiased and factual instead of arrogant and cynical. Especially in a politically charged subject area.
