“Guests are fun to listen to, and the host knows his stuff, although he needs some speech coaching. Friendly advice would be to slow down speech, and not say "awesome" or "perfect" quite as often 😉😘”Read full review »

“I only just started listening to this Podcast and have learned tons and enjoy the conversation between the host and guest!
BUT, you say “that’s awesome” and “so cool” so often as an answer to your guests comments or stories, it makes you hard to listen to. Kind of like a verbal pause.
Anyways...”Read full review »
