Customer Reviews
Practical advice and inspiration
I’m flooding my subconscious with proof that it’s possible to succeed like the guests. A great podcast given my background as a developer. I got specific action steps from the podcast. And it’s great to see that people with the same constraints as me still succeeded.
No longer as inspiring
Recent podcasts episodes are no longer relatable. More emphasis on the hosts’ personal lives (things that should remain private tbh). Something am not interested in.
Amazing Podcast.
This podcast has inspiring stories and great examples to keep moving forward with whatever your vision is in life.
