Juanderur ,

Business papers

Great mix of insight, humor, and resources to check out on the old existential journey. Chase does a good job of connecting ideas with roundabout style. Would like to get a bit more of intro to the guests at the start, look forward to keep listening and learning

Just Amazing

Chase really is putting out great content. All the episodes feels unique and different yet all of them carry a ton of value. Really appreciate you and the thoughts you share in the podcast. I only wish there was more episodes for me to absorb. Keep them coming!
