Customer Reviews
She listens
Rarely do you hear a podcast host who really LISTENS. Gwendolyn doesn’t wait to talk - rather, she asks provocative questions and then lets her guest take center stage. Perhaps even more importantly, she knows what issues are relevant in the now and how to boil down the fine points for listeners. I will definitely be following future episodes.
A calming force in a sometimes chaotic career
Gwendolyn and this podcast are a joy to listen to. I appreciate the conversations she has so much because she’s seeks out insights from her guests with inclusivity and curiosity in a way that gives us so much information but in a calming, palate-cleansing way.
