FANTASTIC

This was an excellent listen and one of the best interviews I have ever experienced. Neal and Pete had a phenomenal connection and the energy was palpable. I am better mentally for having listened to this and I am very grateful. Thank you Neal and thank you Pete.

Great Interviews with Emotional Depth

Big fan of Neal, he does a great job interviewing his friends and bringing them to surprisingly emotional places. It's like listening to someone else's therapy sessions.

Entertaining and thoughtful

I was hooked on Neal Brennan when I saw his specials as he is the perfect combination of introspective, smart, and of course, funny. He brings that same lens to the podcast. I listen to a lot of podcasts and have gotten more discerning as the market has gotten flooded. This is definitely worth a listen and I'm looking forward to more interviews.
