Painful…
Full Disclosure: I love some of the people at Sasha, but this podcast falls short of their typical A+ delivery. Each episode, and I listened to old/new releases, is painful. There is little consistency in quality questions, content, and lessons learned. Perhaps it’s due to them attempting to find their lane — as witnessed by the ping-ponging of show hosts. Perhaps we can blame it on the guests being interviewed and their inability to share key success moments. Perhaps it’s just me… but do yourself a favor and skip this one. The 2-stars are because there aren’t any obnoxious ads run therein — but I kind of wished I’d been offered something?
