Podcast Without a Peer
It is impossible, in the most literal sense, to listen to this program, and not want to improve. Whether you work as a leader, a soldier, or aspire to either… The lessons both for you and those around you abound in what are regularly riveting interviews. Even if you excused and forgot the hosts ability to ask questions that are meaningful and insightful (just listen to his inter with Deion Sanders, in which he asks questions well off the beaten-path that literally everyone else asks), the list of people he brings on to discuss their vulnerabilities, failures, and successes is simply world class. Listen. Learn. Share. Repeat. As an aside, should not be enough for you to listen to every episode four times… As some people may very well have… I encourage the Host’s “Journey” program. Dive deeper into your goals, why they are your goals, and who you will become as a human. An absolute goldmine.
Coach Prime
