So much fun!

I love these episodes. Dom is so much fun to listen to- he is truly unique in the way he sets up his interviews and gets into more than just training.

Love this show!

I’m such a fan of the wide variety of guests Dominique has on the podcast. Also — have you heard this guy introduce his guests? EPIC. The questions he asks are thought provoking and unique, and I guarantee that Dominique will bring out a unique conversation with his guest, even if it’s someone who has been on a hundred other podcasts. He’s just got that swag.
