Brilliant podcast

I love these episodes, Melanie is so inspiring and intelligent asking all the right questions. I get something out of every single episode.

One of my favorite podcasts

I’ve been listening to Melanie for a couple of years now, with Gin, but these podcasts are of a very different style. Melanie is so obviously well reasearched for every guest and asks such relevant and intelligent questions. And delivered without ego getting in the way! Such a good informative listen. Thank you Melanie.
