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.
Where are the women?
This podcast is interesting and has potential. I like the varying topics; last week's short, essay-style podcast was useful and thought-provoking. The show needs to become more focused; but hopefully that will come with time and experience.
One huge criticism: where are the women?? You haven't interviewed any and they don't really even come up much in your discussions. It's starting to make you seem sexist.
