    Practical and easy to digest episodes
    I am really enjoying listening to this podcast, Sameer and Ismail, give some really nice real world examples of how these various emotional intelligence techniques can be used in the real world. The examples and applicability of the topics to my current roles at work has really been the biggest draw for me. They keep the episodes short, light, but packed with useful info, perfect for my morning commute.

    New podcast to add to my favorites
    Loving the podcast so far, so many good takeaways. Sameer and Ismail do a good job explaining the concepts that many of us have thought about, but really never stopped to analyze and reinforce. I appreciate the depth they go into to solidify the importance. The topic range is so vast, I am really looking forward to what they bring up with each episode, so many places they can take this, pumped to keep listening.

    Useful & Inspiring!
    This podcast really had an abundance of knowledge that I was able to apply to every aspect of my life! Not only should the noted points be utilized in the workplace by leaders, but by everyone who associates with anyone (co-workers, relatives and family members). Relationships are everything, and being able to maintain them is the key to happiness. I truly believe our world could be a better place if more of us practiced the advice given by Sameer & Ismail. Thank you guys for helping make the world a better place!

    Excellent Podcast on an Important Subject
    Really interesting and well done podcast. You hear the term EI tossed around often, but it can be an opaque concept or misunderstood. I really appreciate the time Sameer and Ismail take to unpack the concepts behind EI. The practical examples are especially helpful.
