An insightful listen!

This podcast is always so packed with insights that I always have several key takeaways to think about and/or implement after listening. Doug asks great questions that really allow the guests to delve into the intricacies of their expertise. Highly recommend!

Encouragement! ,

Doug has always been a leader, a guide, a coach, with an unstoppable ability to inspire!

If only all the people we encounter could be fun, funny, encouraging, growth-provoking, and kind—what a nice existence we would have! Dr. McKinley has spent his life sharing knowledge with others! Such a privilege to know him!

Amazing Interviewer!

Doug is an amazing interviewer. He has a great capacity to create psychological safety for his interviewee. As a result, he helps them share more important information in more human, interesting ways that would normally be the case. I imagine he does the same for his coaching clients. The topics and guests that Doug selects provide information that all leaders can use. Listening to his pod casts on a regular basis is like taking a high level MBA class, but without the tuition and tests!
