Dependable and Practical Insight and Coaching

i’ve been listening to Kevin for a couple years now, and also went through one of his programs. He is a great guy and provides real value in all of the ways in which you might interact with him. Definitely recommend him. My podcast and Business are better from soaking in his knowledge.

CSBirney ,

Fantastic Interviews and Actionable Lessons!

I have been podcasting, and producing podcasts for other people for about 10 years now. Recently, I found this podcast and find it to be absolutely vital and spend a lot of my time recommending it to clients and beginning casters, and not so beginning podcasts as well!

Andy J. Miller ,

The Real Deal

This show is legit. I’ve been podcasting for ten years. Everything that has worked in growing my show is what Kevin talks about AND he introduced me to new ideas and more clarity in this endeavor as well. I appreciate someone in the self help business space that is so careful to not oversell or exaggerate and to consistently undersell and over deliver. Great work man!
