I don't normally listen to podcast episodes more than once. I can play this one on repeat and still get something from it. Content rich and each episode different from the last. One big thing I noticed is Adam Kifer spends spends almost no time talking about himself. Seems that he truly wants his listeners to get the most value from it! Rare quality now a days! Thanks for that!
I've been listening nonstop whenever a new episode comes out. The big thing that is refreshing to me: Relevance. Not outdated. Each of the legends often share what their minds and egos had to go through to arrive where they are. And how others can replicate their strategies for success! By the way, I didn't start doing podcasts until this one. Thanks Adam!
This podcast is amazing! bringing on the best guest that you would normally have to pay big. $$$ to learn from. I have already implemented Somme advice from this podcast that had made me hundreds of dollars. Thank You Adam Kifer for doing this 👍.
