  • 1 big long ad with 2 min of content

    Just a big ad with each presenter telling 2 mins of content and back to commercials… avoid.

  • Best Overall Productivity Advice

    I've listened to every episode at least once and there is at least one good nugget of productivity advice in every one. I love the "happy people are productive people" concept and the effort the hosts go through to make the information actionable - something missing from other podcasts.

  • When the first episode I listen to is just a little over 6 minutes and almost 2 minutes of that are advertisements, you lose me immediately. I get that shows like this want to make money (podcasting is work and all), but as a listener, I still need to come away thinking you care more about what you're making than you do telling me to buy other people's stuff. This is a hard pass for me.
