    John is a prepared, smart interviewer
    There is so much to like about John’s podcast, including the fact that he really prepares for each interview, and the work shows in the kinds of deep, nuanced questions he asks. Also, in a world of podcasters who don’t let the interviewee shine, John is well-read and knows his stuff, but he doesn’t one-up the people he brings on the show, and that makes listening much more pleasant.
  • Francesca Sipma
    Love this podcast!
    John is a great host and asks very thoughtful and specific questions. He brings on great guests with actionable takeaways. I feel like a smarter, better person after every episode.
  • Bambootim

  • Matt gerlach
    My favorite podcast ever
    I found this a few months ago and it’s mind blowing. It feels like every time I need a pick up or some inspiration, I turn on Passion Struck and find all I need. More than anything, I love that John’s teaching us all that we matter. Every single one of us matters and having overcome childhood trauma, considering suicide even, learning that I matter has saved me. Thank you for putting this out into the world, John! ❤️
  • AlwaysLearning AlwaysEvolving

    Where is the diversity?
    Yikes.
  • Benniefolyfe
    AI-generated
    Haven't listened to the show yet, but I just read through the show description and about fifteen reviews, and every one of them was AI generated. I'm all for using tools, but there's no way this many people in a row are that lazy, so, there's some deception and manipulation at play here. May change this review after I listen, but in the meantime, not impressed.
  • Michelle Curran

    Informative, practical
    I love listening to this podcast, including John’s solo episodes and his longer-form guest interviews. He is SO prepared and asks such insightful questions that get right to the heart of his interviewer’s work. He is informed and pulls from knowledge of outside sources (science, ancient wisdom) and provides fresh, hopeful perspectives on modern living.
