Customer Reviews
Digging the Star Trek format
I used to be a star trek fan so I’m loving the application of the theme!
KK
Super fun way to go deep on leadership lessons and ideas. Not personally a Star Trek fan but show still resonates on deep levels.
Enjoyable even for a non Trekkie
I really enjoyed the episodes I listened to, and I’m not even a Star Trek fan. That being said, it brought me back to my days of watching this show as a kid with my parents and I learned a few valuable lessons.
