Hi Nikhyl, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your advice. It’s some of the best I found in years. Your past experiences and your understanding of human psychology sets it apart. Thank you again!
Long time listener, first-time caller. I enjoy your podcast, but this episode is difficult to listen to because of the number of voice-over edits. It's like someone else's voice They audibly sound different from the rest of your spoken words and it takes me out of the stream of thoughts. It makes it hard to follow along. I had to stop and hunt down a place to send this feedback. I listen on Spotify so with audio-only it really stands out. I'm going to give it another try because I really wanted to hear the message.

Update: I got past it and I enjoyed the episode. I like the video version better, so I'm glad I came here from Spotify. Thank you! P. S. I wanted to mention that the audio problem is not unique. I've faced the problem myself with audio recordings, so I know what you'd have to wrestle with to solve it. Truly thankful for your podcast. Cheers!
