“I’ve constantly found myself absorbing something new each time I listen to Spencer’s pod - it has become one of my favorites. He is transparent about how he has learned to be a deeper conversationalist and those lessons have even taught me how to branch my own conversations better so that I can...”Read full review »

“This show has lots of practical advice and a balanced, humble worldview that is actually helpful and not wimpy or full of logic fallacies. The guest are always interesting and Spencer’s approach to finding what matters in life and how to get there is refreshing. Thanks for the great content!”

“I do like this podcast and its interesting guests and topics. But I do wish Spencer would drop the word “like” from his vocabulary. Like, once I begin, like, hearing him, like, overuse it I cannot, like, stop hearing it.
Otherwise, I enjoy the shows.”
