So informative! Love this podcast

This podcast is incredibly informative & entertaining to hear! I love listening to these guys because they truly know what they’re talking about!

Great podcast!

I found out about this podcast through the mind pump hosts. Particularly liked Doug’s interview the best. So I began to listen to them more and more and I’m hooked. Great content and the hosts seem pretty cool. One of them has a voice like butter and I don’t know which one it is but he was definitely meant for podcasting. Anyway, I’m loving the information they provide and it makes morning commutes better. Between them, the Mind Pump crew, Joe De Franco, and Mike Matthews you’re set for health and fitness education and information. Looking forward to more and more content.
