Customer Reviews
A Great Podcast
It's in the in-between that makes this show amazing. The Waitzkin interview blew me away, I went out, bought the book and listened to the whole thing in 2 days. Amazing ammo for delving into the mindset of high performers.
Someone once said, "you are the average of the people you surround yourself with." Well, listening to this has helped me surround myself with amazing high performers doing big things in the world.
What a great opportunity. Listen -> Delve in.
Way Too Loose, Way Too Long
This show has no direction. It’s like listening to two guys hang out at the frat house. And it’s WAY TOO LONG. For somebody who has made a career of “hacking” things, you’d think he’d be better at getting to the point.
I appreciate what Tim does and think he has some good material, but broadcasting isn’t his forte. Stick with the blog.
Tim needs to focus a bit more...
I like Tim, but felt that episode 1 was a bit scattered and haphazard in its flow. Tim needs to plan out the interviews a bit better. He did this in episode 2, to his credit. I felt that vulgarity was being used simply as a crutch and did not add anything tangible to the show. I noted that Tim was dropping f-bombs while Kevin stole the show and remained eloquent throughout episode #1. I will keep listening, but only if Tim puts a little more focused attention on these Podcasts.
