"I had no Intentions of watching the new Netflix show “How to Get Rich” but after hearing Sethi’s interview, I’m intrigued! He’s got a very simple and relatable philosophy and I like how he challenges the traditional out there who say things like “renting is just paying your landlord’s mortgage”"

"I was pleasantly surprised at the take aways from this episode.

Science VsSkin Care: Is Anti-Aging a Scam?When it comes to keeping our skin looking younger, what works? Retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C? This simple question has become confused by the billion-dollar skin-care industry, which floods us with scientific-sounding claims about the chemicals they say we should put on our face.

"Soooo mixed feelings about this episode, but overall pretty good. If you find yourself spending a lot on skincare hoping for big changes it's definitely worth a listen.
That said, the anti-aging focus flattens the benefits of a lot of the ingredients they discuss. Plus, the stratum corneum also deserves love, and ingredients that don't penetrate past it are still useful. "

"I’m guilty of it. Saying “sorry” all the time even if the situation doesn’t really warrant a “sorry”. Fascinating listen. Thanks podgeek.sadiemae for the recco!"

"I’ve come across several of Noom’s ads, and didn’t think too much about it. My girlfriend also tried it out too.

This makes me want to research diets more."
