Customer Reviews
Give it time
This podcast is brand new and teeming with potential. The first episode makes you think and sparks some pretty compelling internal dialogue on the part of the listener.
I highly recommend you subscribe because, over time, once Shaler hits his stride, this podcast will really grasp your attention and imagination.
Though it suffers from some structural problems (it can be a little hard to follow and Shaler can ramble from time to time), Shaler will figure this whole podcast thing out and when he does you want to be there.
I recommend this podcast not only because of who Shaler is and what this podcast is right now, but because of the potential of what I see it becoming!
Great
This podcast makes you thing and Shaler has some cool ways to look at things in ways you haven’t quite thought of before. I love listening and going on this journey of life with Shaler!
Honest Reflections on Living Well
Right out of the gate, Shaler makes no claims to having all of the answers. What he does offer is the chance to join a young college student seeking the best way to live life through the lens of ancient philosophy. I’m excited to hear what he has to say going forward.
