Customer Reviews
One of the best
Incredible, every episode is excellent. Always motivated at the end of each episode.
I don’t trust them
Some episodes are entertaining, but I find myself not trusting the hosts.
I feel like I’m constantly being sold to.
Ad upon ad, plus these guys constantly seem to to be pushing companies they have a stake in or companies run by their buddies, who all,scratch each others backs.
I just don’t really trust them. Not listening much anymore as a result
Amazing
This podcast rocks ! You learn so much from every episode! I absolutely love it
