What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The latest conversation with Jim Collins was my Gateway drug to this podcast. But now that I’m going back and listening through so many of Ryan’s podcasts, I’m so grateful that I’ve gotten the opportunity to listen to this. Each episode gives me insight, but even beyond that introduces me to people that I would’ve never come into contact with without this show.

DawgsFan · Sep 2026

Have really enjoyed Ryan’s podcast for the last few years. It drops consistently every Sunday night and I enjoy starting the week with it on Monday mornings. Great guests, excellent questions and conversations that get you thinking.

MsogardDYT · Jun 2026

I look forward to this each week and enjoy the detailed summaries and relatable content shared. Great way to find new books to read and grow as a leader.

TakenName222 · Feb 2026

This is my “go to” podcast for personal and professional growth as a leader, the one I recommend first when asked for a recommendation, and it stays in heavy rotation for me year round. The preparation Ryan puts into each podcast, the quality of the guests and the valuable insights shared in each discussion make this podcast one of my all time favorites. I highly recommend it.
