What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

R. Toymil · Dec 2025

I came into this expecting some thoughts, and tips, and I got those. And along the way I started relating the content in deeper ways to the specific situations I have going on, and it caused me to look at them in a new light. The two episodes I’ve listened to so far have brought me clarity in two important ways: 1) the one-on-one audit was the missing component I needed to crystallize my role in coaching my staff. It clarified the “how much should come from me, how much should come from them”. 2) It’s given me thoughts on how to move forward in an org that is primarily “Leadership Mindset 1.0” driven, but pretends to be 2.0. This is a very deep puzzle, and some clarity on those lines was incredibly helpful. That’s 35 minutes of my life that are paying dividends almost as soon as I finished with them, and I’m already planning on sharing. I’m eagerly looking forward to future content.

I like Michael's approach to teaching leadership fundamentals. In the introduction and the first two episodes, he uses examples from his own past and isn't afraid to talk about circumstances where he did or said things that weren't ideal. Then he tells what he learned and did to make things go better. His leadership philosophy and approach to achieving successes are pragmatic and can be applied in real world settings in real time. I'm looking forward to listening to future episodes as they go live.

Finally, an excellent podcast that defines the line between autonomy and oversight. I really love the 'Fire and Forget' episode. It is a must-listen for anyone who wants to empower their team while still maintaining high standards and strategic alignment. Five stars for practical, actionable leadership tools.Highly reccommended and looking forward for more episodes!
