I struggled to finish listening to this. It neither added to my knowledge or entertained me.

No in depth knowledge or new material.

I knew Blake was a great athlete but didn't know he was also a podcaster. Blake does an excellent job of interviewing all of his guests. Worth the listen and hope to hear more from Mr. Blake.

Enjoyed every episode.

EPIcccc

I enjoyed this a lot and looked forward to the next episode. Made me laugh out loud a couple of times. Blake is a pretty relaxed guy and he seemed to really enjoy making his podcasts. I would recommend.

Interesting range of guests

Sometimes it felt like the author himself was bored by the interviewees. Or maybe it was just the tone or the way he reacted to some things that were said. But it wasn't what I thought it was going to be and therefore and found the material not to be exciting to me.

I couldn't finish it. Bored me and the author.

I think each interview could have had more specific questions instead of using the same ones for each interview. Overall good series to listen to. Each episode was a good length too.

Good Variety

Amazing!

Episode 1:
I wasn't sure what to expect from this but it was interesting to hear Michael B. Jordan talk about preparing for roles and his experiences on set. I'm not a fan of Blake Griffin but this podcast style listen can be enjoyed by anyone. If you would enjoy getting an inside look into what an actor does to prepare his mind and body for movie roles, as well as hearing about the beginnings of Michael's career, give this episode a listen.
Episode 2:
Anyone who has a hard time getting enough hours of sleep at night could benefit from listening to these tips from Arianna Huffington. This title was my introduction to her and I was pleased at how many tips were packed into this short conversation between her and Blake. I especially appreciated her recommendation to start out small and work up to your goal. So many times, people try to start at the max level and maintain, which sets them up to fail. Slowly working up to a goal increases the likelihood you will stick with the change in the long run.
Episode 3:
This is general information about mindfulness. If you are new to the topic, it is a good introduction. If you are aware of the basics of mindfulness, there's nothing new presented in this short conversation.
Episode 4:
This was an interesting conversation that kept my attention. Several things were mentioned that I plan to research further. With that being said, I do not agree with everything Deepak stated and I do not recommend following Deepak without doing some critical thinking and independent research. It can be dangerous to listen to the medical/health claims of ANYONE without doing your own research. I recommend listening with an open, yet, critical mind. I find many of Deepak's claims to be dubious, but I listened with an open mind, having heard of Deepak for many years but having never delved into his beliefs/teachings. This is an interesting overview of Deepak Chopra, but the content of his message should be received with caution.
Episode 5:
This short conversation between Blake and Antoni is worth a listen. I had never heard of Antoni before listening to this and I don't cook, but it was interesting to learn about this man's journey to where he is now. If you like learning more about interesting individuals, you might enjoy this.
Episode 6:
This is a great conversation between Blake and Oksana Masters. Oksana has overcome adversities in her life to accomplish things few ever will. She tells her story with enthusiasm and she embraces being a role model for others. Definitely share this with anyone in your life who may feel like they are limited due to a disability. Hopefully, they will find inspiration in Oksana's story.
Episode 7:
I had never heard of this guy before listening to this title. I am sure Dave Asprey's views are controversial. It was interesting to listen to this man's views, but I would recommend anyone who wants to follow this man's recommendations to do your own research into his claims first.

Each episode explores a different facet of healthiness and I appreciated the well-rounded approach. Worth a listen even if you don't agree with each guest.

Some episodes better than others

Blake is a great host. It’s a very calm and down to earth podcast. I’ve found value from each episode and I kept looking forward to the next. Thank you so much for doing this podcast and putting it on here

Easy, beneficial listening

I like this different perspective based around Healthiness. Not being a basketball fan, I didn't previously know who Blake Griffin is, but he asks meaningful questions to interesting people who are at the top of their game - whatever game that may be. I'd like to listen to more of these podcasts.

I WANT MORE
