What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Been a listener for a year finally going to episode 1 and I’m going to listen to the whole thing. I highly recommend jumping in on the newest episodes as they are much more developed in terms of concepts and learnings. Can’t thank Curtis and Nathan enough. Love this podcast and it has changed my life.

esau fake · Oct 2024

The concepts and advice Nathan and Curtis share won’t just improve your League of Legends rank, they are universal truths that can be broadly applied to improve at and enjoy almost everything.

This show it great! I just started listening this week and already I enjoy the epistemology and pedagogical approach of the two hosts. I am a Doctoral Student and in our coursework we covered prospect theory - in which individuals value gains and losses differently even if they are equivalent. When you two were discussing the roaming and how a player hesitates to roam because they remember past outcomes that were negative and that inhibits them from looking for such plays that touched on some prospect theory. Also highly applicable to league and life. You two are great! Keep up the fantastic work and positive narrative around this game and life!

gforce41 · Jun 2022

This podcast goes far beyond the advice and surface levels concepts you would expect to be referenced on a show of this type. Curtis and Nathan have somehow managed to create a life coaching podcast through the lens of league of legends. My life and many others have been significantly improved from the teachings of these two. I will never stop listening.
