“Tom, Charles, you guys are terrific, loved the questions, would love to talk to you guys again anytime.” Actor Phil Morris, “Jackie Chiles” from Seinfeld.
“This podcast asks all the right questions – ones we should all be asking ourselves every morning we show up at work.” John Zissimos, Google VP of Brand and Media
“Thank you so much for the really cool and enjoyable conversation around writing for your podcast. You two asked some super nuanced questions. It’s nice when someone you’re talking to has read the works!” Novelist Andrew Krivak, National Book Award runner-up.
“The early reviews are great – even had a rave from Moscow! Most are along the lines that they learned a bunch of stuff they didn’t know and that they like how you guys jazz it up to be a fun listen. Nice work gentlemen!” David Foote, Foote Partners.
“As a kid I dreamed of becoming a baseball player, an astronaut, an archeologist and, time permitting, the manager of the local McDonalds for the free cheeseburgers and fries. If, like me, you still imagine what it’s like being all those things, this podcast is the (virtual) fulfillment of your deepest childhood fantasies…possibly some of your adult ones too.” Charles Epstein, co-host and co-producer.
