“This is a great podcast. First of all, the guests and topics are great and stimulating (if you have these interests, of course). Second, Jim has been very successful career-wise so he’s not trying to sell you his book or program (of which there are none, as far as I know). He’s not trying to network with the guests for some other financial or career reason. So Jim has far less agenda than many podcasters. Third, Jim is very smart and does his homework. He treats the books/articles of his guests and thinks about their work. Finally, because Jim has been the CEO of real companies, he sometimes adds his own perspective and experiences - without being pushy about it. But he never makes it a “Let’s hear Jim tell us how it is” experience. He lets the guests make their points and explores the thinking with them.
As a final note, Jim’s podcasts have gotten better with time, so to see a more polished version, tune into more recent ones.
Full Disclosure: I knew Jim at the Santa Fe Institute. But this is my own opinion.”
