4.0 out of 5 stars from 50 ratings
  • Informative value of strategic minds

    Candidly my review is biased, but I just finished listening to episode 6 with my brother Bob Rogers.

    While I have found my brother impressive since childhood, I appreciate this platform as an avenue for which people have simple access to the thought processes of successful, innovative, and brilliant people.

    I hope this platform is discovered by aspiring leaders of technology and industry as a means to be inspired or to enhance their current inspiration!
