Customer Reviews
Great topics timely and interesting interviews
I’ve found all of Jennifer’s podcasts interesting, uplifting, and the interviews have led me to new books to read or companies to investigate. I’ve cried at some of the heartfelt stories. And I have felt like I have gotten to know the person being interviewed and what they are offering to the listener from their life experience. I appreciate that in an interview where you really get to know the person being interviewed. Fabulous podcast!
Going for Greatness - A GREAT Podcast
I am on the road in my car quite often, so I have become a self-described expert on podcasts and what makes one better than another. What I look for most is whether at the end of the podcast I have all my questions asked and answered. Ms. Weissmann does that with impeccable grace and skill. Her guests have fascinating stories that demonstrate resilience in the face of what seems like insurmountable problems and issues. I come away feeling positive about humanity and our abilities to rise up in the face of adversity and triumph. So I am very grateful to have the positivity that generates optimism and provides real world examples. I also prefer to have some of the personality of the interviewer come through. And it does. To me that means that Ms. Weissman would be someone who I would like to have coffee or share a beer. So I keep coming back to hear more. Keep up the good work!
Great podcast
