"Incredible Episode I just finished listening to the episode with Jonah Berger, and by far, it was one of my all-time favorite interviews. It was obvious that John had a genuine appreciation for Dr. Berger's work and was clear that he had done his research and read the book. They both took deep dives into discussing why we change and Dr. Berger gave some great examples. I love how John interviews his guests which makes it great to listen to and it has significantly inspired me to expand my understanding of behavior change. I can’t wait to listen to it again and to more and more of John's episodes. Thank you."
