I keep a list of my favorite podcast episodes so I can go back to them easily when I need insight and inspiration. Many of the conversations on Finding Mastery make the list. That’s because Dr. Gervais continually cracks the code of the greats. He gets them to open up in ways they don’t in other...Read full review »

I have good news for both Lisa (your wife) and you. I heard the Valentine’s episode, and I just wanted to ease her mind. Life is about connection.. My paternal grandparents had quite a love, but they also had many differences the most visual and pertaining to this point was my grandmother(Momo)...Read full review »

It really takes away from the listening experience. And the choice of ads is poor.

It’s deeply disappointing that a professional psychologist would feature Ray Dalio and not even address the well documented, profoundly disturbing psychological damage he inflicted on the people who worked for him - which he justifies simply by saying they made money. Or, that his fund abandoned...Read full review »

Truly enjoyed listening to you and Ryan Holiday. The connections discussed about philosophy and mastery in all aspects of one’s life was inspiring and grounding all at once. That’s a great place to be when both are present! Thank you for the conversations, community and wisdom.

I think Dr. Gervais is an exceptional person and have loved hearing other podcasts with him as a guest, particularly Rich Roll’s. He’s wonderfully insightful. But I can’t get through an episode without being frustrated every time he cuts off a guest mid-sentence to prod deeper or coach them. Not...Read full review »

I love this Podcast, Michael is great. Thanks for sharing.

Listening to the animal shelter guy and he is lovely! But the host seems way more interested in guiding the conversation and sounding smart. Give space and time for the guest to flourish. Hour in and the host has talked more than the guest. Frustrating…

I found this episode to be so insightful on levels I did not expect. My son in law recently retired from a 12 year career in the NFL, so I was keenly fascinated by hearing a fresh perspective from Tom Cable as I watch my son in law take what he learned from his football career into the...Read full review »

Thought provoking! Questions are asked by Dr. Gervais are unique and the frequently open up a deeper conversation and uncovers layers that may have not be explored before. I have listened to more than half of the podcast episodes and several of them I have saved. I have returned to a handful...Read full review »

Finding Mastery has quickly become a standout favorite of mine! I’m consistently impressed with the engaging conversations, insightful content, and actionable ideas. I truly learn something every time I tune in. Highly recommend!

Best podcast for being inspired, learning, and engaged!

Mostly good interviews with some interesting and inspiring folk, but liberal / woke vibes permeate. For example, on a recent listen Michael was talking about how he feels a need to constantly be more aware of his editing and language to be more sensitive (gave the example of asking an audience...Read full review »

I listened to this probably ten times & will listen another twenty minimally - the insight, not only as a tennis fan but as a teacher of high school students was beyond inspiring. I am thoroughly engrossed in the book now, and love the little anecdotes about Sampras (who I still believe could...Read full review »

Dr. Gervais and his guests examine high performance in all it’s possible shapes and forms. Deeply insightful, authentic and valuable content for anyone who is fascinated by high performance and what it takes to create a life worth living.

Love Finding Mastery! I have listened (at times on and off for a couple of years now), and this show, Mike and his guests do it again and again! So much motivation, inspiration, value, yet humility. True gold, stories of success, failure, grit, inspiration. Mike is a talented psychologist and...Read full review »

Came across the Finding Mastery podcast and am loving it! Especially the episode with Donnie Ecker, MLB Coach of the Year. This conversation was just so amazing! The candid discussion with you both sharing about your journeys was moving! So many great takeaways! Can’t wait to listen to more...Read full review »

What an indepth, candid and thoroughly enjoyable introduction to your podcast. I have known Michael for the last 3 years, and he is one of the kindest souls I have ever met. Loved hearing his insights and amazing stories. The mutual respect you both showed each other was a wonderful thing to...Read full review »

AMAZING podcast! Thank you for each and everyone of these wonderful interviews. The amount of wisdom in each guest speaker is worth every second. Ted Lasso was one of my absolute favorite episodes ❤️ keep up the great work and thank you.
Lottie0714 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/23
I agree with other reviewers who stated that this podcast is a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s filled with virtue signaling and that gets exhausting. Michael also adds a little arrogance to his interviews and can come off as condescending. However, he has some interesting guests which can lead to...Read full review »

Love the Finding Mastery podcast! So many gems of practical insight and knowledge from Dr. Gervais and his incredible guests - love how it spans so many disciplines, crafts, sports, and businesses. Excited for the next ep every week!

Thank you for sharing these conversations with everyone and what a great example of the hero journey. Most of my rediscovery voyage was heavily influenced by Finding Mastery, the content and the guests sharing their wisdom. As a ripple effect, I kept learning from many of the guests, from their...Read full review »

I get this is a money making deal for you, but the number of commercials breaks the show up too much.

Excellent show. Michael is truly gifted on this platform. Highly recommend!
EricWitmer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/22
Well…well……well… This is certainly weird because I rarely make reviews due to many of the mundane habitual content and discussions that’s becoming a lot more predictable these days, but I must say, this episode alone embodies what “agreeing to disagree” is all about – that’s truly authenticity...Read full review »

This podcast has been giving me the steam to continue on my path of mastery as a regenerative farmer. I play this every morning after my meditation and reading.

Dujon- Cultivating Classics via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/22
All of Dr. Mike’s episodes are great. ALL OF THEM. Except this one. Vague, mansplaining, theoretical. Seemed like Dr. Mike was having a hard time pulling insight out of Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson’s insight about having a decision to make between two similar things versus two distinctly...Read full review »

Great job by Dr. Gervais in an unbelievable interview with Jon. A must listen for the insights around what it means to be human and the power and potential of mindfulness and meditation. Thank you
Cervelo61 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/22
To be sure, there are some impressive guests that come to this show. But it seems that a focus on quality has now become a focus on quantity, I’m guessing for ad revenue, as the number of intrusive, long, and forced sales pitches/ads has gotten ridiculous. 4 of the first 6 minutes are an...Read full review »

Love listening and now trying to listen to all of the episodes I missed! Incredible interviews with a diverse range of guests, always with strong knowledge and inspiration.

Absolutely love this podcast! You are delivering fantastic messages on very useful topics! Thank you for what you do!
Ibra2239 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/22
The podcaster spends a lot of time inquiring about the background of the guest. When the guest is someone like Ryan Holiday we already know enough about him. He then goes into academic arguments such as who is better such as Seneca, Epititus, etc. This is such a waste of time. Make it practical...Read full review »

I tried to listen but the host talked too much, introductions were way too long with the host blathering on. I want to hear the guest, not the host.
