Customer Reviews
Awesome people running this show
Steve and Sundy do a great job of being vulnerable and transparent with their own personal struggles and how they overcome their bias / habits. Very relatable - I love it!!
Great balance of macro and micro advice
I love the scope of topics and range of type of advice. I can find an episode that’s giving broader leadership advice (but with actionable takeaways) as well as more tactical episodes. There is something here for everyone based on whatever you are working on at the moment!
Good topics… sometimes rambling
Newer episodes more successfully stay in topic. Older episodes can ramble into side bar conversations that can be slightly annoying for those looking for coaching
