Customer Reviews
This podcast is great and dope
Very unique topics from the underground / independent artists. A breath of fresh air.
Great advice and entertainment from 2 friends
I never would of thought that when I was listening to Soul Position and Unforeseen Shadows back in college, that I would one day find a podcast where these dudes were dropping gems that’s relatable to anyone and helped me organize my career. I have paraphrased points that Print has made to organize myself on drawn out conference calls. There is so much excellent relatable content for anyone. I particularly liked the “Greener Grass Syndrome” episode which helped me decide whether to quit my job and what to consider. Also: “How Jadakiss destroyed Dipset”episode, which is the first episode I heard and got me organized to fight in the boardroom. Recently they motivated me to do a 90 day challenge that helped me make a change in employers, develop my fitness again and study Spanish on DuoLingo every day. Not normally this long winded… but this podcast is worth your time and energy!
