Not sure how else to say it. Sean brings everything together here. Kind mind, reflective, wicked intellect, humble. Great voice too. Opening my mind to amazing thoughts. Please don’t stop.

Wonderful Host
I truly don’t understand how Sean has the time to do all the things he does, but I am delighted that he squeezes in the podcast! Although is a physicist, his interests and guests are wide ranging. He is a great interviewer and asks questions that show a genuine interest in trying to understand his guests (and make sure we listeners understand his guests, too).
