“This is a podcast that you start listening to get educated by the guests and hosts but keep listening to because it educates while also entertains. I did not expect, when I started the first episode, to really look forward to the next one but I was wrong. It has a huge variety of guests and topics and the conversations go in directions that were not expected. I have heard things discussed that translate out of the business of education and into personal life topics that I now use everyday. Highly recommended!”
