Customer Reviews
Good information
Good information and informative guests . Sometimes the sound quality is off though.
Great guests, terrible host
Love AmSpa but wish they’d kept this Alex person in the closet. The guy is egotistical and grossly insecure. He’s the founder, which is unfortunate, and I hope he has excellent redeeming qualities. Odd that he’s not more sensitive in the current political climate. Women are the biggest of his clients and deserve a little better than this. Also, don’t drink and interview, dude.
A mix
I LOVE these podcasts for who they interview and have learned so much- the content is invaluable. However I find Alex rather condescending, rude, (don’t drink and interview.....)- and would love for Cathy or a different host to be on the podcast more!
