“LOVED this one! I have ALWAYS been a big believer in the importance of smell. Which is most likely why I struggle when there are restricted scent environments. (I get it, but….). And there have been so many scents that bring me right back to a core memory and I LOVE THAT! I also LOVE YOUR...”Read full review »

“I came across this particular podcast, A bit of Optimism, in my early stages of “kicking the tires” on the whole podcast thing. What I instantly took away was a bit of optimism wasn’t all sunshines and rainbows, but the process, the recipe for finding the light in a dim, dismal, complex scenario....”Read full review »

“Great guests. Great conversations. My only criticism is that Simon interrupts his guests too often while they are in the middle of sharing their perspective and wisdom. Often, it feels like he needs to insert his two cents out of some type of inferior complex. It is rude and disrespectful to his...”Read full review »

“If you feel the art of raising questions can be more valuable than spitting out answers, this pod, especially the episode with Neil Strauss, shows how to raise them in an interesting conversation. A weirdly playful philosophical hairsplit episode, but really fun to listen, if you are interested...”Read full review »

“I use to love this podcast because there’s was no add and the time was under 1h
But NOW, putting 3x advertising sequences each 2-3 min long has really change our listener experience.
It’s pollution to my ear and it’s sad cause this podcast has a lot of good insight.
Please change that Simon.”

“The CEO from Walmart maybe a bit naive. Or maybe this is intentional PR move. The Walton family has not ever struck me as caring two craps about the towns they destroyed along the way.
