Great podcast

I love the varied subjects presented in this podcast. And I really love the host. He’s got such a calming, kind and compassionate presence. He’s a great interviewer, too.
JUST FYI, THE SPARK MY RELATIONSHIP WEBSITE IS UNABLE TO BE REACHED BECAUSE IT KEEPS SAYING IT’S NOT SECURE.

Pass

The guest callers are interesting however, the podcast hosts sound very scripted as if they are reading a script verbatim.

If you want deeper relationships…

This is such a great podcast about enriching and deepening relationships, no matter what kind of relationships they are. We all might wish that great relationship would be easy, but they take work, and Chase (along with Sarah, who is now behind the scenes of the podcasts) gathers guests who have such useful perspectives and advice on how to do that work. Definitely recommend!
