Customer Reviews
I accepted your offer - 5 stars for what?
Your podcast episodes say to leave 5 star reviews to help your podcast. However, as an attorney, I want to know the FULL terms of the offer even though I’m accepting the terms regardless by leaving this review. #notsponsored
Honestly, I am a fan of your content. You talk about a wide variety of topics, and you keep the content interesting. As a newbie, I appreciate the attention and detail you bring to these issues, as well. I feel as though I’m able to learn as well as generally just enjoy the conversations you host.
I also know that you’re sincere and dedicated to helping people by informing them. Sure, there may be sarcastic jokes and comments about people on the Internet, but the firm is also open to counseling and actually assisting those people who truly want to learn and be better.
There are plenty of trolls out there, but this podcast isn’t for the trolls. It’s for the curious and the wanderlust. A prime example of clarifying the facts was where you discuss how the Internet reacted to May the Fourth out of a misunderstanding and failure to fact check the actual circumstances.
It’s an honor to be a new attorney with such role models in the field and just model humans, generally.
Entertaining and Informative
I can’t get enough of the business side of gaming, technology, etc. and this podcast was exactly what I’m looking for.
The best
Really love this show. Can’t recommend enough! Austin is the funniest person ever and Ryan and Ali actually teach a lot between the dumb jokes.
