Self-promotional and disrespectful to both the highly skilled professionals he interviews & audience
I really wanted to like this podcast because he has some amazingly skilled couples therapists and attachment pioneers on from time to time, and I tried hard to give it a chance but every episode left me with a high level visceral experience of disgust. For all the 20-25 minute short podcasts, he spends the first 10 minutes rattling on about wanting people to leave him great reviews. Self-promo should not be 40-50% of the episode - that feels really self-serving and was a real turnoff not just from the podcast but the "school" itself. I saw him use a lot of other hyper agressive toxic patriarchal marketing tactics on instagram and fb ads and wish this guy would give being real and authentic a try instead of using those approaches which are such a turnoff. One of the other awful things was I kept feeling like he's not fully present with the people he interviews - he often cuts them off in the middle of them making a really good point to interject with a question he things is more important, but it's usually nowhere near as interesting as what they were saying. Then he has these amazingly gifted relationship therapists on and I swear I could hear him checking out at times and wondered if it was just me, but nope - then I could hear his keyboard super quickly and loudly clacking away WHILE HIS GUESTS ARE TALKING. Instead of listening to this great, skilled professionals and learning from them so he can get better at what he does, he wastes the opportunity by multitasking which is rude to them, but also rude to listeners because then they have to navigate the distraction instead of being able to soak up the wisdom of these incredible people. Jayson seems to very focused on himself, which I get comes from some unresolved wounding and insecurites, but wow - to think you are trying to teach other people from that place instead of taking what these people who are more skilled and experienced in and learn and grow. Honestly just awful. Don't waste as many hours on it as I did. There are so many other relationship podcasts out there that actually respect the people it interviews and where people are humble and take responsibility for their humanness.Read full review »
