What It's Like To Be...

Curious what it would be like to walk in someone else’s (work) shoes? Join New York Times bestselling author Dan Heath as he explores the world of work, one profession at a time, and interviews people who love what they do. What does a couples therapist think when a friend asks for relationship advice? What happens if a welder fails to wear safety glasses? What can get a stadium beer vendor fired? If you’ve ever met someone whose work you were curious about, and you had 100 nosy questions but were too polite to ask … well, this is the show for you.

Gosh! I love this podcast! I recently found it via another podcast where Dan was a guest. Therefore, I had to catch up on the first season. What a delight! Dan is an excellent interviewer, allowing the guest to answer, hearing the responses then nicely following up. The guests are relatable, like able, real folks and neighbors. Thanks Dan.
Fantastic Series

I’m listening to every episode. Even a couple I thought I might skip turned out very interesting. Dan has an excellent interview style.
Love this show!

Reconnected with following Dan Heath recently, and somewhere along the way, I discovered this podcast. It is fun, upbeat, and a positive look into the lives of others that we don’t often get. Thanks for the breath of fresh air so that we can live vicariously through others!
A breath of fresh air

After hearing the host on The Lost Debate, I was intrigued by the premise of the show. Then I was delighted by the content. In five days, I consumed about half of the episodes. I have since interspersed the balance of the shows throughout my podcast routine, rationing these puffs of fresh air for when my regular fare gets too grim - an all-to-common occurrence. Three huzzahs for positivity and curiosity!
