  • Loved the podcast but longer and longer intros

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years, and now the intro is getting longer and longer. Was 5mins, and now it’s 10.

  • Helpful

    Jack's wisdom is undeniable and his presentation is always entertaining. The podcast was better before these protracted introductions which devolve into hero worship and summarize what I'm going to hear anyway, so my recommendation is you fast-forward 8 to 10 minutes in.

  • Great but cut the intros

    The Jack content is top tier, the intros not so much. So much wisdom coming from his teachings. You can feel the energy.
