Customer Reviews
Great Show!
Inspirational and motivational. Sean has a way with words and always delivers.
A Must Listen
Sean has a way with words and his wisdom and advice inspires you to not only be a better leader but a better individual.
Solid follow
Always a nice dose of productivity to work into rotation. Nice to learn from someone still fighting in the business trenches. Good to get perspective from a leadership/management role that isn’t an upper level CEO gazillionaire telling me to work harder, sleep less, and stay focused! Appreciate the perspective and the added productivity to the podcast rotation. Cheers!
