Changed my mind...
What a powerful word in every episode! This podcast has become my key accessory for my runs! Two of my favorite things in life- - running coupled with learning about behavior!! Your face caught my attention..smart move to have a striking photo in the podcast store instead of the pic of a big brain that I typically see! Anyhow... I’m a BIG FAN now! Great job! Very engaging and I learn something new... each episode!!
Can’t thank you enough
If only you knew the things you are getting me through!
I listen to you everyday.
Thank you, just simply thank you. I have made my long term goal getting to Ireland....and maybe netting YOU!!
What a guy.
Owen is incredibly intelligent and an articulate speaker. He takes complex concepts and makes them very digestible and practically applicable for the masses. He also brings an element of wit and humor that is missing in a lot of podcasts where the hosts take themselves to seriously. I loved having the opportunity to interview Owen for my podcast The Thought Room and his episode remains one of our top 5 most downloaded episodes. Cheers, Owen!
