Customer Reviews
Appreciation
Thanks Rich,
Good talk with Layne Norton.
What is happening as of late?
I’ve listened to this show religiously for over 8 years. But the guests as of late feels to be a product of Rich and the show becoming more prominent. Please start asking what is the goal of brining this guest and is the audience going to learn something? And Rich, imposter syndrome is real. Stop talking over people when you feel like you have to show them you’re smart or “one of them”
