REFLECTIONS: The Power Of Guest Testimonials

I’m always thinking about ways to make the podcast more interesting and engaging. So about a year ago, in May 2025, I came up with the idea of creating a guest testimonial page on the podcast website — a place where guests could share a few thoughts about their experience on the show.

From the very beginning of the podcast, guests have been extraordinarily kind and complimentary about their interviews, how they were treated, and the overall experience. But until then, those comments were mostly private. Neither my listeners nor future guests really knew what was being said behind the scenes.

So I created a page on the website called “Guest Voices” to capture and share these comments. The first testimonial came from Melissa Errico, the wonderful singer and Broadway star. Since then, approximately 200 guests have contributed testimonials.

This REFLECTIONS discusses how these testimonials have affected me, my guests and the podcast.
