Terrific show and host!

Steve Gamlin ,

In an 'Instant' Pot World...this Show is Slow Cookin' Goodness!

What does it take to succeed? Depends on who you ask, I guess.
These days, there is no shortage of people out there spewing their 'Instant Result Super Secret Formulas' across Social Media.
I'm old school. Give me something that makes sense. Aligns with my core values and style.
Show me your results. I'll latch on, dig deep, add my personal flavor...and start cookin'.
Over time, all the flavors will blend to make something that is uniquely suited to the flavors I want to enjoy in my life.
The Success Podcast is like this.
Trent does a great job of 'having conversations' and letting the ingredients simmer together over the course of each episode.
I had the great honor of being a guest recently and, as I watched the replay of the show...smiled the whole time.
This show is REAL...and really engaging.
Hope you enjoy it...I did!
