Awesome Podcast!!

John, host of the Moving Forward podcast, highlights all aspects of entrepreneurship, business and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

Brilliant, intriguing, motivational

John is amazing! First of all, I adore his voice! I would say he should totally do a podcast but he already is doing one. That said he should do a second podcast and be a professional podcast announcer.

He has such a beautiful way of engaging with his guests. He makes the show fun, educational, intriguing, and pushes me to do more, grow, and be better.

When he asked me to be on his podcast I was thrilled! He made the episode so much fun and really had such brilliant command of the direction he wanted me to go in. I loved every moment of it.

I can’t rave enough about John, subscribe to his podcast. You won’t be disappointed!

Great Moving Forward episode by John Lim with Allisa Carpenter of Not Ok That’s Ok. I was inspired by the advice to take the time to learn what you like and batching as an option to multitasking!
