I think this podcast deserves 5 stars based on the content Coach Mark tries to deliver every week, and how accessible he makes it to an audience group. On some episodes, the audio quality drops a little, particularly when he takes questions from audience members at the end, but overall what you’re getting out of the show is worth it. This has helped me build a lot of confidence and energizes my week.
