“I really liked this podcast when it was the Growth Equation but this year it is even better. The addition of Clay, consistent guest interviews and shorter Coach up episodes have been great changes with each episode including helpful and practical nuggets of wisdom, humor and warmth. Thank you!!”

“One of my top 3 favorite listens. Never have to worry about their intentions or trying to sell me something. Just practical, thoughtful advice and wisdom presented by people I like and trust.”

“I love this podcast. It’s funny because I am a 60 year old retired grandma who has never been an athlete- although I have walked 3 marathons and numerous half marathons! The information can be applied across all lifestyles. Performance athletes, people in the midst of stressful and busy careers-...”Read full review »

“This is still a very good podcast with loads of great content. However, Brad and Steve were the reason I listened, and now that they are on much less, I feel like the podcast has lost a step. No knock on Clay, but this change is a disappointment for me.”

“I have been an on/off listener to the growth equation for a couple of years. I have always found some episodes grab me but others weren’t of interest/too much rambling.
The relaunch under “Farewell” is excellently focused and improved. Really enjoying the different type of episodes - the coach...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed this podcast when it was just Steve and Brad and they presented topics threaded together using themes in their books. Unfortunately, the show really seems to have lost its identity and you never know what you’re going to get. I understand why Clay was added and the move probably...”Read full review »

“Love this new format. I felt like there were bits and pieces of this in The Growth Equation, but it wasn’t consistent, so I canceled my Patreon membership. I’m going to rejoin now. You started the year with two excellent podcasts-Courtney Dauwalter and goal setting. Thank you for listening to our...”Read full review »

“that at the start of the show Steve is always really interested in knowing what’s going on in Brad’s world but Brad never acknowledges the question. Steve: “Brad, what’s going on my man?” Brad: “Not so much.” I tune in each week to see if Brad will finally acknowledge Steve’s question.”

“Just listened to two episodes of the podcast Growth Equation, so many applications for what is discussed from sport to business to life.

The episodes I listened to also had poor sound...”Read full review »
