Phenomenally well produced, thoughtful and balance. Would recommend.
By far the best
I started to listen to NLW in early June on a 3 hour drive. I was so inspired by the one episode I listened to that I went back and listened to every previous episode. I have told about 100 people to do the same thing since then! I very much look forward to listening to this Podcast every morning. I work as a coach to 20 CEOs and it is the #1 way I stay informed efficiently. And that is one of the keys - efficiency! There are so many other blowhard podcasters selling their Secret Prompts or their Master Classes and they just talk and talk and talk. NLW gets right to the point and keeps his focus like an experienced newscaster giving you mostly facts and then some well thought out opinions. If I could wave a wand and get NLW on the speakers circuit to educate CEOs around the US, I would do so in a heartbeat. In the meantime, this podcast will give you that benefit on a daily basis.
