Can't believe only 2 reviews. Fantastic podcast.

Glad this is on Audible. Probably the best podcast. Me and a friend of mine both listen to this podcast on long runs.

Also the sponsorships are actually useful to listen to and relevant, which is unusual.

Disappointed

This probably would have been really good at the beginning but as time goes on, podcasts invite too many guests. Unfortunately some guests and intelligent enough to stick to their area of expertise. Listened to two episodes and was left disappointed. I found them to be a waste of time rather than "modern wisdom"
