Customer Reviews
Always interesting content
I listen to this on a daily work commute. I’m always left feeling like I have learned something new, and how to be more productive and adventurous even in normal life events. The show is always well written, and Shelby does an excellent job in asking questions that we all are thinking ourselves. This makes for a show that makes the listener feel part of. I also recommend the book, “Will to Wild” written by Shelby. Very similar content and truly inspiring stories. Keep up the good work. Highly recommended podcast..
Love everything about this podcast!
I have been listening to Shelby’s podcast on my daily bicycle commute to work in Seattle for about 2 years. I love her voice- somehow she always sounds like she’s smiling. I love that she has clearly done her homework on every speaker- and asks thoughtful questions that really get at the heart of her speakers. I love her guest choices- she celebrates diversity- and I love hearing how her speakers have overcome adversity and doubt to make their wild ideas not only a reality but in so many ways- changing the world for the better. Her podcast inspires me to make even small ideas in my own life a wild idea- I practice “no excuses” bike commuting- because you’d rarely commute in Seattle if you don’t!
