Customer Reviews
Love the guests!
Very entertaining and eye opening learning about unique careers and the paths leading to them.
Thought-provoking and authentic
I really enjoy the interviews, fun/authentic conversations that the host has with his guests, and how there is such a wide variety of guests. I find myself thinking about things that I usually don’t think about because of how he has guests from vastly different career fields.
You’ll love these stories
Daniel is an excellent story teller. His interviews are organic and allow a flow that is uncommon in any form of media. His guests are clearly passionate and I find myself seeing people very differently - with greater reverence - than I did before. In short, Studs will help you grow and connect while being very entertaining. It’s worth clicking subscribe!
