Very interesting approach on integrating the Gap analysis in goals. I found the examples very helpful.
rhe shows and topics are really good but boy, there is alot of fluff before you get to the point. not just the adds but alot of personal unrelated discussion. I suppose cutting this down and replacing it with answers to listeners' questions may be more interesting and valuable. keep up the good work though guys, this is one of my favorites.
