orionescher ,

sweet, funny, honest

Stay Positive is a collection of candid, insightful conversations about how people are handling Being a Person. Jason is curating answers for the questions people are afraid to ask, and encouraging people to ask them anyway.

velcronic ,

Helpful and insightful

Very cool to hear so many people talk openly about their journey and struggles with positivity. A much needed podcast with a fun host.

Osteoferocious ,

Heartfelt and hilarious

In a sea of cynicism and negativity, Stay Positive shines like a beacon of hope. You will laugh, you will cry, and your face will hurt from smiling by the end of it. Host Jason Nguyen is an incisive interviewer with thoughtful questions and always manages to bring out the best in his guests. If you want to make your day even better, I highly recommend this outstanding and charming show.
