Listener Reviews

I really enjoyed listening to the podcast about raising kids. It was very insightful, great content, and easy to listen to.

Loved Antwaun Thompson's episode! I especially liked it when you guys talked about keeping things simple because life is already complicated enough. It made me realize I desperately need to stop overthinking my morning routine and just drink the coffee. Thanks, Michael :)

I listened to the episode on work life balance with Carol Enneking. I appreciated the emphasis on how we can't show up to everything 100% of the time, so we have to be clear on our goals and desired legacy. I appreciate how the host is encouraging dads to find balance in being present for their kids while pursuing their work goals.

As a working dad, I’ve really enjoyed Gap to Gig. Michael does a great job having honest conversations about the challenge of balancing career, fatherhood, and what really matters. It isn’t full of clichés or hustle culture—it offers practical insights and thoughtful discussions that make you stop and think. Definitely worth adding to your weekly rotation if you’re trying to build a meaningful career without missing what matters most at home.

Love a podcast that doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. The best niche shows know exactly who they’re talking to, and Michael never loses sight of that.

Even though I’m a mom, not a dad, the episode on mental fitness interviewing Colin Thompson gave me a lot of great takeaways. A few of my favorites: When working at home, establish clear boundaries between work/parenting, this will allow you to be fully present for both. It’s ok to take a little time to decompress in the bathroom/basement/walking when transitioning from work mode to parent mode. I like the five unrelated questions that host Michael inserts at the end of the interview. Michael is a very good interviewer and makes it an enjoyable listen.

This podcast is a great reminder that life is bigger than work — which, honestly, some of us need tattooed on our foreheads. If you have kids, it doesn’t just tell you to show up differently; it gives you a real sense of how to start.

Great podcast covering a necessary niche that doesn’t always get covered as much as other ones. Episodes are good, diverse, and informative. Host has insightful input.

As a dad I was amazed to find this podcast that provides a lot of insight on what is it that I can do to become better. Not just work but life and give my kids a better life, to spend more life with them. Great show!

I really enjoyed the way that this show was edited to make it easy to listen to

Really enjoyed the episode with Alan Lazaros. His story of following traditional path and still filling like something was missing really stood out. The wake-up call he experienced at 26 adds so much depth to the conversation around meaningful work and fulfillment. Definitely worth a listen.

The work-life balance episode included a lot of discussion that i really needed. Thanks for helping me feel better on this journey.
