What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Whether you work in a corporate office, project manager, in a leadership position, work in retail, or even a stay-at-home parent like myself, there’s so much to gain and learn from these episodes. The episodes with David Anderson and Carl Pullein were incredibly inspiring and this podcast has motivated me to get some new Franklin planner inserts and start planning out the life I really want to live. It’s a planner system that has worked in the past and will continue to for years to come.

Hautepinkfluff · Sep 2025

I have used a Franklin Planner for more than 25 years. I always do my best work when I implement the planner to its fullest including mission statements, values, goals, daily and weekly planning sessions. Three episodes in, this is great review to polish planning skills. I am looking forward to guest speakers.

Archtop Bill · Mar 2025

I love productivity information and I think the Franklin Planner company with their long history has some interesting things to say. But the host George interrupts his guests and his usual co-host John enough that it’s distracting me from the content. I’m not sure I’m gong to stay subscribed. I especially want to hear what John has to say. George, stop interrupting people.

Enjoying it so far. Would love to hear more about integrating the Franklin principles with the digital tools we all use. The Carl Pullein episode was a good start on this.
