Customer Reviews
Best intro track ever
Fascinating topics, amazing guests and the best intro track in the podcast universe. Thank you 🙏
Absolutely amazing!!!
This podcast talks about so many things that I wasn’t even aware of, and I can’t believe how relatable it is.
Guests are great, host is confusing.
Great content, guests are amazing. Difficult to tell if host is interviewing or asking for personal validation when nearly every sentence ends with, “right???”
