I very much enjoyed your discussions with Ben, but excited to see where this goes. Sharing your vulnerability and journey with the world is difficult. But just speaks to your internal honesty and integrity that has shone through for a long time. Some knots are just wound so tight. Ben has his own journey. I’ve always said you can be yourself and some people will like you and some won’t. Or you can try and be what you think others want. And...some people will like you and some won’t. So you might as well be yourself. And those people are your true friends. Most people respond to integrity, even if they don’t agree with your life’s choices. And don’t be too hard on yourself for any past perceived lacking with business and friends. Someone once told me, it’s better to be kind than right. There is a balance there. Though I sense any confusion you speak of is already somewhat resolved before sharing with the world. You are more giving background and your path is clear. Even if you can’t yet see the destination. Good luck with wherever this takes you. I’ll be following and cheering you on! 🥰

Sorry to see the split up but will likely still be great.

You guys should stick to your utube stuff

Charlie & Ben’s discussions are very rational while still being entertaining to listen to. They drive right into issues and present honest intellectual arguments without bias. Overall, phenomenal podcast and hands down my favorite. My only critique is that their episodes don’t come out at regular intervals or often enough.

Phenomenal thought-provoking conversations. I've learned so much about how to critically think, see beyond people's biases and agendas, cut through nonsense in the world, and have been able to UPGRADE my life in so many ways. Plus, as of 4/2022, you can get your own questions answered on their Patreon. They are making a powerful difference in the lives they touch, and I am lucky to have been a life influenced by these young men.

For a long while I enjoyed Charlie & Ben’s style of conversation and depth of analysis on topics. I could really appreciate the approach of hearing out both sides. However, it seems like they’ve lost sight of their own perspective biases and come to conclusions about things that they don’t understand/don’t know enough about. They’re both undoubtedly knowledgeable, but can come across a bit pseudo-intellectual when they’re beyond they’re depth.

I’ve loved their viewpoints, and love to listen to them talk about what constitutes a well founded argument and how to be a societally beneficial debater, not a person promoting logical fallacies and misrepresentation of ideas, as a debate fanatic, and a proud rationalist, this pod is a 10/10 for me. I love to listen while I work out, and (no regrets) often debate the two of them on their options (sometimes out loud). Awesome stuff, keep it coming. And I love the quality over quantity mindset you guys have! Impressed.

Charlie and Ben are great at giving a philosophical, well-constructed argument, but they really struggle with understanding anyone who’s background is different from theirs. Issues about women and race are especially butchered on this podcast. And I’m glad they stopped having guests, because it was one privileged white misogynist after another. Good thing their producer is level headed enough to bring counterpoints sometimes. Do better.

I love this podcast and after the first 3 episodes it became my #1 go-to (and I’m a HUGE fan of Gladwells pod). The opinions given are well thought and nuanced, the advice given has already had noticeable changes in my social relationships. I took a tip from Ben and Charlie in terms are curating their friend group by providing material that they were interested in, to their friends, using this podcast to send to my 7 closest friends. 1 of them called me two days later saying he’d been bingeing the podcast it felt like he was high! We spoke over the phone for almost 3 hours discussing the topics and how it’d affected our lives. Don’t let this thing die, it’s too important!

These guys have viewpoints even the best of people can benefit from

Lots of good info and a great dissection of topics in a nuance way. The conversations are intelligent and absorbable. I definitely recommend this pod!

I find myself wishing I could inject myself into their discussions.

I love how these guys can talk about politics on a philosophical level. It’s real critical thinking which makes it good to listen to even when they have differing viewpoints relative to my own. I love charisma on command but I REALLY love the podcast.

I’ve been looking for a podcast that is just a fun conversation but Is very informative. And THIS WAS IT!

Just listening brings me back to my philosophy-major roots that I have wandered far from. It’s really cool. Thanks so much for your candidness and humility.

I love you guys. So much depth and intelligence about things that really matter deep down. Learning so much about myself and how to be a better person and to think more impartially because of you guys! Keep putting out shoes!

I like the way you guys bounce around ideas and the self examination involved in the discussions. I have a podcast name idea. I forgot what episode it was, it was about the name of your channel. If you ever wanted to change the name so more of your following on YouTube would find you, maybe Charisma in Action would work. Because the way you guys engage with each other and other people embody the principles you teach, yeah? Hope you guys can continue doing this!

What garbage, both guys are obviously Trump supporters who don’t wanna come out and say it so they pretend to be partial. I’ve supported them along the way and even bought the book but I’m out. You guys are speaking on topics you have little knowledge about and it makes you both sound ignorant. Might as well listen to Ben Shapiro.

An amazing fresh perspective at events. Refreshing to have people in the media show both sides of subjects. Keep it up guys!

Insightful, tasteful, always interesting. Keep it up

Keep em coming

Hey guys! I 've been listening to your Pod for ony a few months but it has helped me immensely, I listen on spotify cause I'm a college student and Spotify is my preference. They don't have ratings or reviews for podcasts so that's why I haven't reached out in the past. This last month has been Insanely difficult for many people I'm sure your fanbase would like to know how you two are coping and how practicing soical-distancing. :)

I’m a huge fan of this podcast, and charisma on command is something I mention to many friends and acquaintances. I’m actually heavily considering charisma university... but for some reason I have strongly disliked every one of their guests. Their buddies all sound like super privileged annoying entrepreneur/car salesman/playboy types (gag!) and none of them are relatable. The only guest I have enjoyed was one where they spoke to a guy who was overseas living in a war zone. It sounds like they’re not going to be making a lot of these episodes... my hope is that if they do they aim for guests that are more diverse/relatable... or leave the voices as their own.

I totally understand why you guys discontinued the podcast and I would love to call in and a conversation with you guys. I listen to you guys mostly every day on my commute to work and as a Robotics teacher I definitely enter a flow state when you talk. You have a captivating way of talking to each other and the topics and conversations you have are second to none.

I had just gotten into this podcast when it was discontinued! I totally understand the reasons why you guys decided to move away from this, but just know that it has been extremely life-giving to me over the past month. Missing the banter and the thoughtful discussions. Here’s to you guys revisiting it in the future.

Man, I’ve really missed this podcast. I don’t have any friends like Charlie and Ben, and it was nice to hear how they think about random things. I felt smarter listening to this podcast than I ever have listening to Gladwell or JordyP. I’ll stay subscribed with my fingers crossed that they’ll come back. I’ve never watched the podcast videos, and I could care less about the visual.

I love your podcast, please add podcast to a playlist on YouTube as a lot of people listen using YouTube, please add a least one add too to cover costs and do a promotion for cariama university at the end.

Great content! Very entertaining and keeps me engaged during my long drives. Just one request. Try to balance out the volume please! At times Charlie's volume will be very low and I'll have to turn up my volume then Ben comes in with a roaring laugh or something and blow up my speakers! Thanks guys!

Just found your podcast a few weeks ago and I’m almost caught up. Love your topics and your take on different subjects. Keep up the great work and try to be mindful of each other when talking (talking over each other). You are getting better, and it does take time to read your cohost. Mine used to do it all of the time 😂

Charlie and Ben knock it out of the park with this podcast. It is engaging, psychological and fun! This is a great companion series to one of their paid courses or their YouTube channel, Charisma on Command. Definitely give it a listen!

I’ve been watching charisma on command for a year now and am enrolled in Charisma University. When I found out they were doing a podcast, I clicked the link right away, curious to know more about the guys behind the business. What I love about the podcast is that Charlie and Ben talk about a variety of topics from personal relationships to politics. It feels like conversations you would have with your friends after the first 20 minutes of small talk has passed. They also answer fan questions and their responses are always insightful. It’s nice to hear their thoughts on different subject matters and can sometimes be very helpful. This podcast is honestly for anyone who likes conversations (and who doesn’t?). Highly recommend! Keep it up Charlie and Ben 😸

I feel this is awakening a part of my brain that I’ve been neglecting. I’m isolated and miss having conversations like this. I’m always wanting to join in. My goal is to make friends like this in real life. I found this podcast through the Charisma on Demand videos that I started watching in my attempt to join the world again. It makes learning a playful experiment. I get so much out of this podcast, I knew I needed to leave a 5⭐️ review in appreciation. To tell on myself, I couldn’t figure out how to. I’m embarrassed to say I had to Google it and even more embarrassed to see how easy it was. Doi. I’m the old auntie trying to keep up.

I found these folks through a YouTube video about how to debate without getting into an argumentative by being a better listener and debater, vs allowing oneself to escalate emotionally. As someone prone to doing that, I learned a lot. When I heard they had a podcast, I have it a listen, and I’m glad I did. Charlie, Ben (& Angel) are good listeners who explore multiple sides of an idea or premise and discuss its merits, without snark or pandering. As a woman listener I appreciate hearing their perspective, which aligns for the most part with my outlook, yet isn’t as left-leaning as my unabashedly feminist outlook is. These two hosts are good at teaching us to listen for understanding and how to more gracefully grapple with the cognitive dissonance and tendency toward confirmation bias we experience and consume from the seas of media of shape our ideas of self and social organization. Hopefully I take a page or two from your books and improve the way I communicate!

I have been binge listening for days now to catch up and enjoying every minute!! I plan on writing in with opinions and questions. This podcast has been so inspiring and intellectually provoking. Keep it up Ben and Charlie.

This podcast is engaging and educational but stands apart through the honesty of the dialogue between the hosts and the integrity with which they hold themselves. I highly recommend this podcast to those who want to be entertained but also learn something about themselves.

How do I tell my dancing instructor to not make fun of me in front of the class while being charismatic? (It’s salsa dance) I’m shy, with low self-esteem.

One of the best If not the best podcasts out there. Love the work and effort put in to this. Really interesting subjects and topics . Would really recommend it and also would recommend their YouTube channel charisma on command.

Very interesting topics that I would like to be discussed, however never quite find the time or people to discuss with

I heard a caller describe the podcast as intelligently stimulating and I feel that’s a perfect way to describe it. You know how you’d have deep conversations with friends sometimes. That’s what this podcast is ALL the time. High level concepts everyone should think about from time to time to be brought back to reality.

I’m a thirteen year old who wants to get sponsored by Apple so I can get free iPhones and iPads and Apple Music subscriptions

I wash windows and listen to your podcast and it’s a great way to keep my mind engaged while I do mindless work. I appreciate you.

Big fan of this one. Love hearing these guys bounce off each other and challenge each other intellectually. This podcast has helped me grow mentally by hearing different situations and learning how Charlie and Ben would handle them. Love these guys.

Keep it up guys, continue exploring consciousness, meditation, psychedelics and the healing effects of human interactions. The world is starving and anxious to connect and you both have the tools to teach us how.

Was blown away by how much I’d like this podcast. Very balanced views on worldly topics it seems. Awesome that you guys objectively look at some things that happen in the world and relate it back to the individual. Way too many people that push ideologies these days. ✊🏽

The most consistently thought-provoking podcast I've listened to.

Excellent podcast that is extremely interesting and engaging. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to think deeply and have an alternative perspective on current events.

Amazing podcast from the Charisma on Command guys. If you like the content they put on their main youtube channel, this podcast is for you. They go even deeper on topics they often discuss in their CoC videos regarding self-help, social skills, confidence/charisma, etc. and they often have intellictually stimulating conversations about a lot of current events, politics, philosophy, pop culture that tows the line without going too extreme on either side of an argument.

I absolutely love listening to Charlie and Ben kick around ideas and opinions. Sounds just like a conversation I could hear me and my friends having. I feel they probably disagree with me politically, but their slavery to logic and consideration of others forces them to walk an excellent line down the middle.

Please, please, please, please, please keep this podcast going. It’s great.... please.

Charlie you kept saying you’re talking too much in the last episode. I could listen to you guys talk all day! At this time in my life you were exactly what I needed to hear. Really opened my mind to how we all interact with each other and being more conscientious of how others interpret the world. Could not be more grateful for your channel and this podcast
