Well Produced and Informative!

Interesting topics on this series, I’m looking forward to more. The interviewer is warm and charming without seeming cookie-cutter. Really brings out the best in personal stories from some of the guests. Keep it up!

What I really enjoy about listening to James and those he interviews is the behind the scenes thinking he shares when it comes to types of names, trademark strategy, what you want the name to do, and a whole lot more. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in naming or needing a name.
