Customer Reviews
Great messages!
I really enjoy this show! I try and find many different ways to learn about leadership and the lessons that are out there to be learned and shared. Jeff puts a great spin on the topic of leadership. He is a great host with a great approach. A really great listen!
An easy, valuable listen
This is such a creative concept. I loved the episode on self care and Ted Lasso - big fan of both! Appreciated the tips on leadership inserted throughout. And Jeff’s voice is like butta too so it’s a very easy listen. Highly recommend!
Combining Star Trek and Great Leadership Lessons? Make it so!
Yes, a Star Trek podcast would be cool, but there are plenty of those. Yes, a leadership podcast would be cool, but there are plenty of those. Tying both together? Genius!
Jeff does a fantastic job of pulling and delivering lessons from all the Star Trek shows (but I don’t think any of the movies have been covered yet?).
If you’re a leader who also loves sci-fi, this show’s for you.
