One of my favorite podcast shows

Love the content and the average length of the episodes. I have read many business books because I don’t have a degree in business. The host does a fantastic job of giving summaries as well as how his business follows the principles of each book.

I’ve known Mani for 23 years!

We went to college together and have been friends since then. Mani knows how to take the most difficult concepts and simplify them so that anyone can understand and apply them. I have seen him transition from physics to computer engineering to starting his own business.... this guy loves to learn and grow and improve himself every day. Learn from him!

For dummies like me

This is one of those podcasts that makes summaries of things. This makes it easier for people like me to understand because they turn something complex into something simple and easy to digest. The show keeps it short and simple which makes it one of the best podcasts I've listened to

Easy to Understand!

Many of us don't have time to read an entire book, or, if we do read it we're often left with questions. This podcast does a great job solving both of these.

Great Information on Books

Having read many of these books myself, this podcast was great to hear thoughts from another individual on the books. And, for the many other books I have not read, Mani does a great job of providing an overview. Definitely a podcast I'll continue to listen to.
