This is my favorite self-help/personal development podcast. Each time I see a new release, I listen to it immediately. I love the two hosts and what they are doing here. The episodes are so impactful with my personal and professional development, but they're also fun to listen to! This podcast is a must listen for all.

As a long time listener, I recommend this podcast to anyone looking for a next-level take on a wide range of topics for personal development... it’s like Wikipedia for your ears.... only better... all delivered with world-class panache by Brett and Nick. Subscribe!

I found this podcast late in the game. Fell. In. Love. It has definitely helped me through the pandemic. Highly recommend and encourage you to go back and enjoy the previous episodes from years past. Thank you Brett and Nick.

During quarantine I listened to at least two a day to get me going.

If you’re into local legend / cryptid talk, you’ve found your place!!!

Good stuff for bad times

can’t believe i’ve just discovered this! definitely binging every episode.

These guys constantly leave me saying “I’ve got to check that out”. Thankfully, they’re fellow Texans, so most topics are within driving distance!

What a great Podcast! I love listening while I’m cooking or just in the car. It super insightful and I learn something every time. Would love to win the 500$ gift card!

This is an excellent podcast. I like to listen when I go running. It’s Educational , interesting, and entertaining! Great find. Thx y’all keep up the good work.

This is such a great kind of podcast!

Do you want a podcast that traverses through deep and meaningful landscapes; To navigate through a rustic evening of wind and fires!? This podcast is for you, it’s pretty cool and you will be touched at the heart, changed in your mind, and moved in your prayers to be all that you were created to be Thanks for the inspirations WTS

Great all around podcast!

Just discovered this podcast and Im obsessed!! Started from episode 1 and have learned so much. Thank you so much for your inspiration. Can’t wait to share with family and friends.

Such a great listen for professional and personal reasons! On those days where I am feeling just off, I choose the next episode and just listen. Gets my mind going and offers different perspectives on topics. Thank you!

Honestly such a great podcast to start my days. Full of so much insight and motivation

Hey guys! I’m so glad to hear from you again. I found WTS literally when the farewell episode dropped and I loved it! I signed up for the email newsletter that day. Since then, I have been working my way through the old episodes, and have gotten a huge benefit. Its insightful content plus expert production wrapped up in pop culture references and good natured humor is exactly what the world of personal development has been needing. It is deep philosophy with practical takeaways. Guys, just keep doing your thing! Sincerely, Living a Smokin’ Life

I have to say that not many podcasts peak my interest, but this content is pretty dope!

I have learned so much listening to this show. As an Ivy League student, I’m always on the go and dealing with so much stress. This podcast has helped me grow as a person and tackle all my goals while on a walk to class. Give it a listen!!! It’s like listening to a motivational speaker everyday. LOVE WTS

You guys are exactly what I needed 🙌🏼

Are you guys coming back?

Awesome podcast, I’m constantly brought to tears and deep in the “feels”. But where are you guys??

I think a lot. Often times more than I do. This show says what I’ve been thinking, but in a way that brings clarity. Now I can do. Thank you!

Thank you Brett and Nick for your beautiful work! I discovered this podcast a couple weeks ago and since, it has been the only podcast (of the many i subscribe to) that i have been listening to. I want to get through them all to be current so I have been listening on commutes and runs. At times I have thought, ‘No, I want to listen to another podcast to change it up.’ Then, I decide to keep going through to the next episode because lately I have been trying to persevere through the bored, difficult, or plateau times of things I am interested in in life. I have a bad habit of giving up. To my surprise, I ALWAYS take away something from that next episode, from persevering, even if it wasn’t ‘speaking’ to me at the moment. Truly enjoying. Thank you!

I am a big fan of where there’s smoke from mason, Michigan and the last episode with jim cuddy made me enjoy his music and the idea of collaborating together. The 48 hour challenge was perfect and I loved learning about self appreciation. You guys move me every episode and I am a where there’s smoke lifer fan!!!

This is the only podcast I can think of that I’ve ever listened to episodes multiple times. If you love self development you have to check this out. So well done.

I began seeking out self help materials with the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Steven Covey. It worked great when I first started reading it, however, after reading parts of it over and over, it started to lose its effect on me. I reached a plateau in my journey and felt stuck until I found this podcast. Brett and Nick take the values taught in Covey's book (among others) and turn them into highly entertaining and digestible episodes. They consistently provide fresh, interesting, and thought provoking content every week without fail. I have never been able to listen to one of these episodes and not feel like I want to write a book or run a marathon afterwards! I'm far from perfect and I still have a long ways to go from becoming my ideal version of myself, but playing this podcast when I feel unmotivated always manages to get me out of my slump. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone attempting to better themselves. Play this podcast while you're in the car, doing laundry or whatever it may be, I promise you will not be sorry!

Yeah, so I never write reviews. Not even for some of my favorite stuff. But this show- and Brett-- there's so something so genuine and refreshing that I feel extremely connected to. I found out about the show from Invisibilia, and what do you know (I love them both), but this is Invisbilia with the personal factor. Your homeboy is teaching you some ish :-) I can't get enough. So glad I found it. If you are curious about the world, curious about humans, and are stimulated by critical thinking- this is the show for you. Hit me up and thank me later.

As a young adult currently trying to figure out life and how to have a positive impact, I consider Brett and this podcast a valued mentor. I recommend this to anyone who is reflecting on life. Thanks for all the work and thought that you guys put into this show!

Thoughtful, quirky -in a serious way- and just a joy to listen to. Where did you guys go?

This podcast is so sincere. I only found it a few months ago and now I am going back to the first. I share them with people all the time. Making me a better Christian, husband, dad, principal, friend.... Thank you!!

Where there is Smoke is the best podcast I have listened to. Whenever I feel like I am needing something thought provoking and inspiring to keep me going, this podcast is my go to. I'm sad that they will be taking a break and simultaneously cheering them on for listening to their own words of wisdom. Definitely worth a listen and subscribe for when they come back!

Nick and Brett bring a ton of passion to their podcast about self development. They provide real insight and think deeply about how to truly make positive change in your life. What I appreciate about their show, is that they don't bore you with advice about what you "should" do. They make it relevant to personal experience, and really go into detail of both "how" you can make a change, and "why" it's important.

This podcast, despite being so young, took off right from the beginning, knowing exactly what they wanted to put out there, and how they wanted to do it. The insight into common problems and conundrums of the human life is outstanding, and really makes you want to re-listen to episodes so you can take notes.

Fantastic! Topics move me in so many ways...there aren't words, except I know I'm a better person every time I listen. Thank you

These guys look into topics and questions that I'm interested in by following reasoning and information in the way that I feel like I would if we were all just sitting down and talking. I wish they lived in my neighborhood but I'll settle for getting to listen to them through their podcast! Great production quality, incredibly thoughtful investigation. Smart, helpful and mind-opening. Thank you for doing what you do!

This podcast is my dig for the week! Thanks guys!

You guys have reminded me of the power I have over my life- you've reminded me of who I am. And thanks to WTS Podcast, I've almost entirely climbed out of the dark hole that 16 months of postpartum depression and chronic pain has put me in! Because of that, Zita (my daughter) totally loves you guys- she is finally getting the mom that she deserves; a mom who lives and breaths the magic of life. Zita-bug may just be your biggest fan. I am SO stoked that the new season has just started. I absolutely loved the premier topic (stress) it made my upcoming day of doctor appointments feel a lot more doable. Xoxo No words can express my gratitude for your podcast- I've even shared it with my therapist, and he's now referring it to his other patients/clients!

Smart, insightful, tight. Honest and produced to just the right amount. Everything you could want.

top notch, this is a quintessential podcast for all to appreciate. keep it up guys.

Found this podcast after my wife and I finished radiolab and serial on a road trip. I love it! I've been listening every morning before work.

They do things so well that they hooked me in one show.

I listen to this during my railway commute to and from work each day. It sets the tone to start and end my day. I'm a little nervous to catch up since right now it is so perfect that I get to listen to 2 or 3 a day. Thanks for being such a positive influence in my life.

A great, smart, meaningful show that I'm always glancing back at, to remind myself of different areas I want to keep improving. Brett and Nick pull together a lot of powerful topics, giving you lots of jumping off points to tackle each. Now, confession time: I don't listen to these as they air. In the spirit of personal development, once my wife turned me on to this podcast, I hold onto them until Monday mornings, to listen to on my way to work, so that the subject is on my mind throughout the week. But isn't finding the way to apply these ideas to your life the point?

I absolutely love WTS. They have the perfect blend of introspection and entertainment

really enjoy this podcast and find it very helpful. it's always a boost of motivation. i definitely recommend to anyone looking to better themselves

As a music therapist this podcast makes my life sing more than it already does! This podcast has given me the tools to become a better person which in turn makes me a more competent music therapist. My favorite podcast for some time now!

Ok! I don't write reviews for anything since i don't like to lose my time on something that someone may never read …… However, I love this podcast so much I've been listening for sometime and it's awesome I think you should give it a try it's worthy ! No lost of time at all !

WTS is my favorite self improvement podcast of all time. It's great because they take large subjects and are able to break them down into digestible pieces, without sounding corny or condescending. I love their work and I plan on supporting their patreon when I get paid on Thursday. I'd recommend that you'd do the same.

If you are looking for a podcast that will push you outside of your comfort zone and help you to grow to be a better individual, look no further. WTS packs insightful, thought-provoking ideas into an approachable format that anyone can pick up. Don't miss out on this great podcast.
