What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m new to Finding Mastery’s podcast. Since discovering it, I’ve been listening to one after another. The fascinating, science-based insights from top performers across disciplines not only reveals patterns and psychological principles, but also offers actionable, useful information that I or you can apply in your own life - be it professional or personal. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve any aspect of their world, or just wanting an inside look into the minds of high performers.

JohnMurphy44 · Dec 2024

I have gotten a lot out of most of the episodes, interesting and informative guests and a much deeper dive into how guests got to where they are, their challenges and vulnerabilities, and their tips for success. Not a 5 because of the sound quality of the AMA episodes - as a hearing impaired person who uses technology to help, I often can’t hear what O’Neill is saying - he needs to use his outside voice or the sound engineers need to punch him up. Otherwise amazing

paddledude · Dec 2024

This podcast has been a 2 for 1…not only have I learned things I can apply directly to my business but I’ve also learned things I can apply to myself…to be healthier and better manage stress! I love this podcast so much I get sad when there isn’t a new episode to listen to!

b8hoven8 · Sep 2024

I’ve listen to this podcast for years. Initially, I listened as a “self help junkie” and always walked away with some new perspective, increased motivation or some another “aha”. More recently, I listen as a coach and I’m in absolute awe of Mike’s ability to tease out and get super granular as to what exactly his quests are saying. I appreciate his questions, his knowledge and the incredible guests he brings on the show. I feel like I’m a better person and coach just for listening!
