Interesting and Relatable

This podcast has made me think about how I have approached decisions in my life, and given me new perspective on how to approach those in the future. The guests have been informative and interesting, without talking down to the audience.

So great!

I’ve just started my journey of learning how to make better decisions. As an engineer I thought I had a good process. Listening to your podcast I’ve learned how much I don’t know and I’m hungry for more! I’ve taken away many insights, it’s just so fascinating listening to these conversations and I appreciate the host simplifying the concepts for audience members like me who are new to all of this. As a mom I appreciate the mission of the alliance and I hope my kids can one day reap the fruits of your labor. Such a great podcast and I’m looking forward to season 2!
