Customer Reviews
Engaging and thought provoking!
Listened to a few of the On Life and Meaning podcasts over the last few months, but recently listened to the Don Taylor episode and really enjoyed it. Found it engaging, thought provoking and informative. I shared the experience with several people since listening to the episode :)
Thank you Mark and Don!
Riveting Content AND Questions
From the first episode of “On Life and Meaning,” I was hooked on the guest content *and* on Mark’s keen listening and questions. The guests are diverse and fascinating, offering an insight into what makes them and our city tick. And Mark is clearly both well prepared and fully present for each conversation. His “Personal Word” at the end allows for his own reflection and input but also creates space for the interview to be completely about the guest. So well done! 100 episodes just won’t be enough. 😊
Insightful and Thought Provoking
This podcast is well curated and enables you to think about the meaning of doing what you do instead of just coasting though life.
