Love this podcast and its practical tips no matter where you are in your career. Pete is a great host!

Antipasti13 · Mar 2026

While I have been a loyal listener for many years there were hundreds of podcasts that I had NOT listened to. Over the past several months and during my early morning walks I have been listening to or reviewing all of the podcasts that were "unplayed" on my podcast player. Wow! There was so much rich, or should I say awesome, information and content. There were interviews with expert researchers, leaders, executive coaches, and others that I knew of their work but did not realize that Pete had interviewed them. I played these at 2.0x speed and took screenshots of those that I wanted to go back to and take deeper dives. And I am always so appreciative that Pete provides transcripts. I went back and captured some of those as well. If you are ever wondering where you can find specific information, I encourage you to start on Pete's podcast web page and search. My guess is you will find what you were looking for! Ed Nottingham, PhD, PCC

Mockaitis has this knack for getting straight to the point with his guests, pulling out actionable advice you can use right away. What I love is the variety - one week you're learning about creativity, the next it's negotiation skills or productivity hacks. It's like having a mentor in your earbuds. The episodes are concise, so I can usually fit one in during my commute. If you're looking to up your game at work without wading through fluff, give this a listen.

Robyn Bolton, MileZero · Dec 2024

I’ve been following for years and I can’t give it enough stars. Super useful and very well-organized

Some of the content from the guest on this episode was interesting but the delivery was so frustrating to listen to. She was all over the place and it was hard to follow all the lists she went through because she bounced around so much.
