About Mister Motivation: From the School of Hard Knocks

Life doesn’t come with a syllabus, but experience is the best teacher. I didn’t learn living between Barbados and Brooklyn. I thought I could guide myself and landed in the Army. Now I’m somewhere near Boston, married to medicine, and raising two kids. Every L was a lesson, every setback a setup for a comeback. From lost to leader, soldier to speaker, dropout to educator, and now a published author. This is real talk, real lessons, and real breakthroughs. No fluff. No excuses. Press play. Class is in session. mistermotivation.substack.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
