  1. Hey Jeff! What did you think of Kiev? Intrigued? I was walking around the city centre today listening to the episode with John Lee Dumas – just fascinating. I had brought John’s book on podcasting and listen regularly to his show. There was such a wealth of quotes, advice and information. Love the pace, tone and energy. Отличный и информативный, спасибо

  2. This is one of the first podcasts I’ve listened too and found it very informative. I can see how podcasts can become powerful marketing tools now. Thank you for the great information that will help me peruse my goals in the class room and outside of the classroom as well. I will continue to follow Jeff brown because his knowledge and interviews will provide me with additional information needed to be successful.

  3. Being in the business program in my college, I have been exposed to new and interesting ways to learn more about the business world. Jeff’s podcast is one that really opened my eyes, or should I say *ears*. The guest speakers and new topics discussed in the podcast can definitely help further my passion for business in a new and exciting way. Hearing from Jeff and all of his guests will help me on my path to success. Thank you Jeff, for this new and helpful tool!
