  • Stop talking so much

    Josh - you aren’t the smartest in the room. Quit boasting about all of what you know and your accomplishments and let the people on your show TALK. Shawn Ryan is successful because he is talking less than 5% of the show. Ask more questions and let them speak instead of always adding to what they say, f me.

  • Today’s episode needs fixed!!

    Hey Josh, listen to your podcast daily! Today’s most recent show needs edited badly. The clips run over each other so everyone is talking at the same time and then long silent pauses! Other than that, this podcast is great!!

    Love it. Great guest, very pertinent info.
