Customer Reviews
Great topics with fresh attitude
Appreciate the views that start with the facts and conclude with the hosts take. They weigh the pros and cons sometimes so evenly that I forget where they stand but I appreciate the friendly debates.
Great chemistry and thoughts
I love the banter and friendship between the hosts and the length of the episodes. I’m interested to hear more tactical advice about how to approach conversations like talking about money or specific things to do and say, based on their expertise, in addition to their opinions. Love the use of research as well. Looking forward to listening more!
Insightful and thought provoking
Being a MBD listener I ventured over here after Kyle covered for Toby on Monday, April 29th. Listened to one episode and hit the follow button and leaving this review right after. Great content and I’m excited to hear more!
