    Pete is awesome!
    On behalf of recent podcast guest, Dr. MH Pelletier, “Loved our conversation on how strategic resilience is key to optimize our contributions, both professionally and personally - how you took the initiative and demonstrated how to create your own plan on the air so your listeners could see. Amazing!”
  • Starred_Night
    Always worthwhile but
    The episode with Dr Sam Radar is what made me finally review this incredibly informative and helpful podcast. There are so many wonderful people who will make your life better inside and outside of work. All of the tools we need for success are within reach thanks to Pete Mockaitis and I'm very appreciative. Your efforts to underpromise and over deliver are impressive. Kudos and thank you.
  • Petus Maximus

    How to gain trust and insight by asking better questions
    Had to stop listening halfway through due to the sheer unadulterated sexism in the examples. Come on, it’s 2023 not 1950.
  • Cmorris1007
    Awesome show!!
    I’ve been following for years and I can’t give it enough stars. Super useful and very well-organized
  • RealLemonPlease
    Tied up in a bow… too much so.
    Y’know that “informercial” type voice? That overly excited, glossy, super effusive sound? It bugs me, which didn’t bode well for me enjoying this podcast. The advice is most applicable to pasty white, white collar people like me which is also a red flag. I don’t hear humanity, empathy, authenticity or inclusiveness.
  • SophiasChoice
    Hits it out of the park!
    Pete and the producers of this podcast impress me with their choice of guests and the topics they cover. I get inspired, educated and validated - all from this podcast. I have used the podcast to get pointers to prep for job interview, to learn about time management, to know that there are others who struggle with the same insecurities and confidence hurdles, and to be ok with taking a break to shake out the cobwebs to help you be more productive. I totally recommend HTBAAYJ! ❤️
  • twyckND
    Too short
    Great content but the episodes are too short. I feel like I am just getting to the good stuff and the episode is wrapping up. Would love more 50-70 minute in depth discussions.

    Spot on
    Pete offers great advice and perspective, brings on really knowledgeable guests, and makes really good use of the time to drive home ideas you can implement to improve your life. Give an episode a listen and you’ll know what I’m talking about! 🙌
  • NastiaFe
    Ads Greediness
    Maybe less advertising would be better for your listeners? I couldn't listen to the latest episodes because of the increase in things she is selling now. Probably not, because it's all about money and less about the content at this point.
  • Mind Power Junkie
    Sound Advice
    How to be awesome at your job does a great job of telling you what you need to know. The variety of topics is wide enough that there is always something interesting to learn and think about. It’s a great way to stay fresh and on your game.

    In my full time profession, I offer career and business development coaching to lawyers. Any time I present to a group or work with someone 1:1, I ALWAYS recommend they listen to this podcast on a regular basis. I go back and listen to pertinent episodes on a regular basis. Every episode may not be for you, but they are so frequent with exceptional variety, there is something for everyone!

    I have been listening to How to Be Awesome at Your Job for several years and I seem to come away with a new insight or tip to try each time. Not only does Pete focus on the “obvious” work topics but he also brings in guests like comedians and magicians to share ideas that could help you as well. Worth a listen!

    Personal Growth
    This podcast is great for any growth minded person looking to make the most out of the opportunities we are all presented with.
  • geududvuejdbd
    Host needs better speaking skills
    Content is good but wish the host had better public speaking skills. If I hear one more “you know” , “kinda”, “sorta” I will scream. Also, we want to hear from the guest not about you! I felt there were many episodes when the host started in on his story and the guest just had to sit in silence.
  • beanke96
    Career changing advice
    For anyone trying to be a better leader or take their first steps into leadership or who just wants to be more productive, this is the podcast for you. The host gets right into the meat of the topic, and his interview style keeps the conversation on track. He is very good at making sure there are actionable takeaways and he vets the speakers so there is usually some data behind their topics. I usually listen on the way to work, and it helps me to set up my mindset for the day. This podcast has really made a big difference in my career, my day to day, and sometimes it just makes me sound smarter. I list to every episode, and sometimes I go back to older ones when life throws me new challenges. Episodes are evergreen. Give it a shot. You won’t regret it.

    Awesome content and Positive vibes
    Love the podcast. I really appreciate all the knowledge shared by the guests (and wonderfully facilitated by Pete). Apart from the practical and actionable ideas, just listening to the podcast while I am working on certain tasks helps make it more effortless. Thanks!

    Great Content

  • pacnwtrailmaster
    Weekly listener
    I listen to about one episode per week and I love the variety of topics. All of the conversations make me think and I appreciate the structure that the host uses to open and close the conversations. I am not a fan of sponsors/advertisements, but I appreciate the consistency in quality conversations.
  • guess!!!
    High production quality, great guests, great dialogue
    It’s through listening to other podcasts, that I’ve come to understand why this one rocks so much. Most podcasters are interested in hearing themselves talk. They aren’t synthesizing the information for their audience and using that to turn it around to ask a relevant (and clearly researched) question. That isn’t the case here. I’m not exactly a careerist and yet I get so much value from this podcast because it clearly comes from a love of knowledge, love of guests and love of audience. My best media discovery of 2020.
  • Miketrave405
    Career growth tips packed in bit size episodes
    I started listening to this podcast recently and I should say that it covers every aspect of career growth. The guests in the podcast have great viewpoints on how to have a successful career and there are always actionable items people can take from the episodes and use it in their real life experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to grow in their career. -Raj

    Pop psychology
    I was exploring. Should have know from the use of the word “awesome” that it would be annoying Valley Girl drivel. Yes, you will hear the words “awesome” and “perfect” much more if you listen. And lots of catchy acronyms. But not much substance.
  • Amber B CC
    Listen, Apply, Be More Productive
    Pete’s show explores a wide array of job performance topics from productivity to mindset. There’s something for everyone. Plus, interviews with 500+ superstar guests like Mike Michalowicz and Michael Hyatt! Highly recommend adding this one to your favs! -Amber Beam, Career Coach

    How to Conquer Stress, Freak-Outs and the Fear of Failure
    As I prep for my interview with Joe Sanok on his Practice of the Practice podcast, it was wonderful to hear Joe being interviewed by, Pete! Completely engaging conversation and I'm grateful for the tips Joe gave. I've already ordered my copy of The One Thing! I look forward to more interviews with Pete:)
  • Mabo Sekai
    Needs quality control
    461 felt like a 40 minute ad for various things like brainfm and nootropics.
  • Fisheadd
    Too much great content
    I love the content of the podcast, but the content comes out too frequently. I cannot keep up. It feels weird to say, “too much of a good thing,” but it’s true. Podcasts are not life for me, they are snippets of goodness to learn new stuff in idle moments. I implement new skills and read new authors all the time from the podcast. Keep it coming!!!
