Customer Reviews
Wow
This is a fantastic thoughtful and insightful podcast that gives one hope for the future. The interviewers focus on the guests—not themselves—and they do their research and ask insightful questions because they listen. They are also genuinely diplomatic with narcissistic guests(Paper woman). Really great podcast. So worth listening to.

These are ever pleasant interviews conducted frankly and genuinely, by its skillful hosts Andrew and Spencer. Every episode is a wealth of insight, creativity and passion, so inspiring that one must not settle. Love it!
Jesse Kamm pod
I greatly enjoyed this pod and listening to her down to earth approach to her business and life. It’s very inspiring. My only question would be, what is the back up plan? Is there one? Should there be? What if one day no one wants her pants? What if she gets injured surfing and she cannot physically do all the things that she does herself. It would have been nice to hear her response to those what if questions. Having a safety net is a nice thing.
