And yes you’ll hear about a guest’s childhood or the lack of diversity in the...”Read full review »

“This podcast is a good listen but is increasingly filled with commercial offerings, sales pitches and product/service endorsements. I get it, the podcast needs to make money, but it can be overdone to a point of losing credibility. Great format, mostly good guest and a likable host.”

Ryan as a host is clear, articulate, and gets into the nitty gritty of an interview (but sprinkles some humour and jokes in there to keep it spicy)
