  • Hit and miss

    Shane has a couple of excellent interviews in the midst of a lot of less than insightful content. If I’m really honest, I’m not sure that the character dissection episodes really land that well. It’s difficult to commit to the episodes as a listener as I find them hard work. I much prefer the actual interviews with guests. He should probably return to that form of content to be honest.

  • Simply my Favorite Pod

    Not sure what all the recent review hate is about I think Shane’s pod has on improved over time. I find Shane to be great interviewer and super easy to listen to which gets coupled nicely with the right guest. Not every episode is my topic of choice, I dont find interest in every guest but geez when is that ever the case with anything? My only wish is that episode releases were on more consistent schedule.

Q: What is success for you?
Self-respect. Ironically, to me, success is looking at myself and knowing I have built the best life that I know how to build.
Panera Founder Ron Shaich
Q: How do you develop the long-term thinking that you've brought to all these different concepts?
It just makes sense to me. I mean, it just seems logical, right? Like if I want to start out and figure out where I'm trying to be in five years and 10 years, and what's it going to take me to get there?
