Customer Reviews
Phenomenal
I came to this podcast from MFM. Which is great but this is different and better IMO. These guys are humble and let the guest run but step in to steer it in the most helpful way for the listener. They also curate the guests thoughtfully. You can tell that they really take time to get the best out of their interviews. No braggadocio. I’m impressed. Only feedback is turn up the recording volume a tad. Keep it up!
Epic show.
It won’t take long for you to binge this show. Just saying. Great topic all the time. A+
A New Favorite In My Feed! 🔥🔥🔥
It’s obvious Sahil and Greg put extraordinary effort into covering salient topics and finding guests that are authentic and truly care about being a positive force in this world, and the insights they bring to bear are mind-blowing every. single. time. No matter the subject, you’re guaranteed to gain something from every episode - can’t recommend Where It Happens enough. 🙌
