Customer Reviews
Insightful
I’ve been listening for over a year now and it’s always an worthwhile education. Inspiring as well. Give it a listen.
Great podcast. Inspiring interviews and stories.
Really enjoy hearing all the interviews from a diverse swath of professions/trades and other backgrounds. Very interested to see what new interviews will be upcoming. Would love to learn more about the collective efforts happening in Silicon Valley and other “salary professionals”. Would also recommend turning up mic volume. Very low volume compared to other podcasts I listen to.
Great Podcast! Turn up the mics a little more!
I just discovered this podcast and I love it! Great podcast for all union members or for anyone who wants to join a union. Only criticism I have is that the mics need to be turned up a little. Volume seems lower compared to other podcasts I listen to.
