MRTCOLEBABY ,

Such a great show!

I was a guest on this podcast and it was awesome. Scott is truly a professional and made me feel at ease. He is really easy to talk to and very relatable. Thank you Scott for the opportunity and keep on kickin butt! 🦵🏻

Trey in Tulsa ,

Really good show

I really love the topic variances on this show. The host is good at interviewing and fostering discussion.
I also find some of the topics are really on point. For example the one on zoom fatigue really hit home for me. I interact with my clients through zoom on a regular basis and really enjoyed the thoughts presented in that episode.
