Love the stories, thanks for making them! However i’m so annoyed by the end when Terry comes in and concludes/repeats everything in identical language. Yes, I heard that already!

Love the stories on this podcast and contrary to other reviews, the hosts voice has never even crossed my mind as being bothersome.

The most inspiring podcast out there

I love how the stories are presented. I’m amazed at the endurance of the human spirit. It inspires me to never give up! PS… I would love to hear an episode featuring MR. Bean. I have heard that he has faced a lot of rejection.

I love this podcast! Whenever I’m feeling discouraged about my path in life, I listen to an episode of this for a bit of inspiration! And I enjoy the host’s delivery - her voice is easy to listen to.

The podcasted sounds and speaks like a child . Can’t bear it
Originale1 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/13/23
To me, this is what podcasts are all about, introducing you to subjects you may not have thought to read up on and find out more about. The show takes certain entrepreneurs or artists from the last 100 years and tells the story of how they overcame adversity time and time again to realise their...Read full review »

My wife and I have loved UTI (Under The Influence) from the moment it launched on CBC, and WRTIY is a worthy successor. Interesting subjects, stories that grip, and well researched and produced. The only fly in the ointment is Sidney’s voice. Like so many young women of her generation, she...Read full review »

I love this podcast and appreciate the people and brands we know even more- knowing the back stories.
Daveemery via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/14/23
Honestly better than under the influence but some topics were more interesting than others
Pickle sandwich69 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/13/23
I like so much about the show, but the host uses a lot of vocal fry and I find it a bit too distracting and grating. I’m not actually opposed to vocal fry per-se, but for some reason a bit more of a “Radio Presenter” tone would help bring me into the storytelling a bit more.
Drewaustin via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/12/23
I really wanted like this podcast. The topics seem very interesting, but I found the host’s high-pitched voice and vocal fry too distracting. What a shame.
whoisnberg via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/10/23
Just discovered this series and binge listened to catch up on every episode. I find rejection stories like this to be just the inspiration I need to keep pushing forward in my own pursuits. Would love to hear stories about Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, and HBO’s The Wire.
staceywrites via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/23
I found this podcast, as I’m subscribed to Under The Influence, and they played part 1 of John Hamm’s story. I loved Mad Men, so sought out part 2. I thought it was great. Then I tried to listen to an older episode, and thought the host hadn’t found her voice yet. I then skipped ahead and...Read full review »

Brilliant concept, superbe execution and a wonderful weekly listen. Sidney clearly invest a lot of time and energy in researching each episode to give it a personal, compelling and informative take. Thank you so much making this podcast: each episode is a dose of courage and renewed optimism to...Read full review »

Sooo good
sam nickolsin via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/24/23
Superb show! Gives the stories of ultra talented people who had to work extra hard before their talent was recognized. Lots of people you have heard of like Lady Gaga, Kiss, and many others you haven't. Pretty inspiring, makes you want to try your passion out instead of waiting for it to happen.Read full review »

Great podcast!
quijoteforce via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/26/23
This is a very well produced, interesting podcast. What else would it be with Terry O’Reilly at the helm? I’ve been following him since Under the Influence—brilliant. Every show has been great except for Rejecting Gal Gadot. Why tell her story when there’s no story to tell? There was no...Read full review »

This is not really about rejection. It’s about eventual success. Boring.
weewilliestylz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/07/23
Just love this podcast and eagerly wait for new ones to come out. Love the topics, the people you’ve picked, and the commentary. So many lessons to learn. Very inspirational. Every struggling entrepreneur, artist etc. should listen to this. I think I’ve listened to them all.

I love this show.

All of these stories inspire. Never, ever, give up!!! Are words we all need to hear - always

Whenever I need inspiration to keep pursuing my dreams, I listen to this podcast. I wish there were more episodes- it’s that good!
Jersey Girl 23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/23
So well written and delivered. Great subjects, I wish everyone could listen. The Dirty Dancing episode was a stand out…. But I’ve like them all so much.
Mystique1975 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/14/22
I work in the film industry out of Vancouver, BC as a member of the camera department and I can appreciate the success stories that you talk about every week. I also understand myself what rejection feels like and the importance of never giving up on one’s passion to succeed in this ever...Read full review »

I love how each show inspires me to keep trying - in everything I do!
Two cents more than before via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/29/22
The stories of famous people, and the not so famous people behind famous inventions, are told in such a captivating way. Not only interesting but affirming that the journey of our lives is not always straight forward or easy. This podcast is one of my very favourites!
CynRG9078 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/11/22
The music, the stories, the inspiring message at the end… all make me feel happy and inspired. And I can honestly say binge listening to this got me through a pretty rough patch in my personal life. Thanks Oreillys!💜

Everyone should listen to this podcast. It is the most positive and uplifting podcast. Some of the stories will take you from tears to feeling good. It is presented perfectly. A must listen

Great stories. Always interesting to learn of the journeys these people take.

Liked the South Park and Jay-Z pods! 🤟
Michael MacGillivray via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/21/22
I’ve read and listened to Terry O’Reilly’s lessons on marketing for many years - and continue to enjoy the depth of detail, relevance of its lesson, and humour. I do notice more ads this season; the pods seem shorter 😒

Great story telling talent. Did she learn from her father? Entertaining, clever and worth the listen.

During the darkest days of the pandemic I needed something to help me get through the many many days of isolation and remote work. I’m so grateful that I found this gem of a podcast. Each installment is a story of failure and eventual success told in a way that keeps me listening. And for a while...Read full review »

Having listened to numerous informative Rejection podcasts the one on James Dyson was mythical. I know of no one personally or through the media who has persevered through rejection and disappointment like Dyson has managed to do. Yet he continued through a believe in yourself system precious few...Read full review »
