    I lead a team of facilitators that present to elementary school students everyday (experienced facilitator myself) and the whole vibe of life Labs is AMAZING! I get lots of great ideas and nuggets that help me to coach my team …and myself. I appreciate the genuine sentiment to never stop learning. These snackable pod cast episodes are so addicting and I appreciate the thoughtfulness behind them. Please keep them coming! I am inspired!!
  • Pluckypea
    Love these Jedi-mind tricks!
    Stumbled upon this podcast while looking to brush up on my leadership skills and can already tell that it’s right up my alley. Somehow manages to be both high-level *and* accessible, which is a feat in itself. Looking forward to more!
  • FLshooter!
    Wow! I’m hooked
    As a mentor, instructor, and human being I strive to learn two new things everyday in different subjects. Listened to your first episodes and I am hooked!!!
  • Roustabout32
    Useful Hacks!!
    The episodes are bite sized but pack a lot of punch in terms of leadership and communication tips. So fun and engaging, I can’t wait for the next one!!!
  • podcastcalifornia99
    Great nuggets of thoughtfulness
    Perfect podcast short, but sweet morsels of how to be more effective at that thing called life.
  • Anita Peck
    Awesome podcast snack
    Smart, witty and informative leadership guidance. I’m excited to take on the experiments!
  • lizcwilkes
    Perfect dose of skillbuilding
    I love podcasts in theory but can’t find to time to listen to long episodes (especially because I no longer commute to work). This is the perfect sized dose of content for me.
  • KellyC1809
    Short & Sweet!
    Really enjoyed the first episode and looking forward to the episodes to come! The quick yet in depth nature of the tips is efficient and effective. The suggested “experiment” is a quick and easy way to put the skills into practice immediately. Definitely recommend this pod cast for formal and informal leaders.
  • Julia Kes
    Short bites for big impact
    I’m on board with small changes that make a big impact in little time, and appreciate that the content really reflects that mission in multiple ways. The host is natural and personable - someone I’d love to be friends with!

    Worth It
    Listen to it. Learn it. Try it. The podcast is deigned to be easily consumed and easily practiced. In 10 short minutes I learned about a new skill, why it’s important, and a simple way to practice it over the next week. This is probably the most valuable 10 minutes I’ve had all summer. The host and guest are surprisingly polished for a first podcast so it’s easy and enjoyable to listen to.
  • Alanna🧘🏾‍♀️
    Small but mighty
    If the first episode is indicative of what’s to come, then I am here for all of it! I really enjoy their ability to present quality content in such a short amount of time. Kudos to the host, well done!
  • kridkrid
    Useful and entertaining
    Well packaged information that’s easy to apply, like it a lot and hope there’s more soon.
  • gishrhino
