A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Very impressed with how natural Mamie is at guiding a conversation and inviting her guests to tell powerful stories. Great listen with tons of insights from leadership experts!

Jay_Abbasi · Apr 2026

I've only been a manager for a few years and so I'm continuing to learn how to manage people, processes, and substantive matters. As a former litigation attorney who has transitioned to a non-legal role, I'm aware that lawyers tend to be terrible managers! This podcast has helped me tremendously.

In my work as a DEI facilitator and consultant, I often see managers who are expected to be “all things” but don’t get the training and support to do it well. While we can challenge our organizations to do this differently, this podcast serves as a helpful guide for mid-level managers to build their people and management skills along the way.

Practical advice for one of most important, but often overlooked groups in our workplaces, managers. Mamie does an excellent job bringing on and interviewing wise guests who provide actionable advice for challenges that managers face. Thanks, Mamie! Teri @StrongertoServe
