5 star information 1 star fluff😀

The information in the podcast is top notch. I have to fast forward through about 5-6 minutes of fluff/banter etc in the beginning. Maybe trim the podcast of that for listeners who aren't interested in listening to Satya contribute a "yes" or "mmmhmm". I'd much rather listen to the actual amazing content.😀 Keep it coming!

Fighting the Inner Noise

I really enjoyed listening to this episode and your openness to discuss YOUR story. I can assure you it will resonate with many as it did for me. I have spent the last year fully immersed in better understanding identity, the story I tell myself about myself, and how it impacts my life as an athlete, coach, and entrepreneur. Found this episode at JUST the right time, and appreciate you sharing.
