Excellent podcasts taking practical limitations under consideration. I also loved the advertising style employed - its gels seamlessly with the actual topic.

I'm 60+ and in a job that's meant to be my life's work and passion, but recently I've been increasingly grumpy. I find this podcast very relevant and useful for providing perspective and guidance for me to improve my attitude and situation.
