This Podcast is Redundant
I cannot stand to hear Matt’s voice, it’s like nails on a chalkboard. I listened to one episode willingly. Now, because I fall asleep listing to podcasts, I wake up to the same conversation being rehashed time and again. I hate this podcast and want it removed from my feed, but there is currently no way to do so on the Apple interface. So, I will continue to report the podcast.

A conversation, not an interview
I've appeared on several podcasts, and what sets Matt apart is his willingness to lead with his own vulnerability — which creates permission for his guests to do the same. Our conversation got to the heart of things quickly, in a way that doesn't always happen. He's a genuinely curious, warm interviewer who makes you feel heard. Highly recommend for anyone who is seeking to understand themselves better, make a change, or is just interested in honest conversation.

On Human Experiences
I listened to the episode about navigating loss. I found it relatable, and I like how the host helped the guest to reflect. Processing and sharing human experiences is beneficial for both speakers and listeners. Thank you. - Tamara Miller Davis, author of “Despite the Buzz”

Life Shift Will Leave You Uplifted and Hopeful….and Even More Human
Matt’s ability to interview his guests in a way that makes them center stage, and makes you feel like you are right there in the moment, is an extraordinary skill that I hope many will experience. His productions make the difference for many. Join in and listen each week to ponder, to cry (the cleansing kind), and be affirmed that in all your humaneness….you are not alone, and there is always hope on the other side.

Inspiring but still relatable
Matt's show is a gem. I feel like I get just the right amount of inspiration yet I can still relate to the guest and pull out the empowering piece that can also shift my own life! It's the mix of his interview style and thoughtful questions that allow me to really relate to the guest.

Wow the episode with Larry Sprung is a powerful one
Wow the episode with Larry Sprung is a powerful one…. hearing about the loss of his mom at a young age and the death of his brother in law was very moving.
His desire to turn these events into action is inspiring.
I am off to listening to listen to Larry’s show the Mitlin Money Mindset for more inspiration!

A Truly PIVOTAL Podcast!
Matt Gilhooly, host of The Life Shift Podcast, is extremely adept at getting his guests to be vulnerable and engage them in intimate dialogue as if they've been friends for years. He's a natural storyteller, who like many podcasters fell into this journey serendipitously and then fell in love with it.
What I love most about the show is that he happily sat in "the hot seat" and allowed himself to be interviewed by one of his past guests. He talks of losing his mother at the tender young age of 8, and then his grandmother more recently - and how each catalyzed a very opposite life shift for him.
It's amazing that Matt's only been doing this for a year, as the caliber of the show (content, sound quality, flow, the whole 9) are on par with that of NPR, The New York Times, or some other huge studio.
If you're looking to make sense of this tangled bowl of spaghetti called life, with all its twists and turns, then this pivotal podcast is definitely for you.

It’s just okay.
Is kind of new age feel good pseudotherapy, it’s not my thing, but I can see how some would like it. Decent audio quality which is nice.

Interesting
Very cool concept. I will be honestly I typically would not be one to look for a podcast like The life Shift but I’m glad I listened. I have never given much thought to the moments in my life that changed the trajectory but listening to these stories has me going back over my life and really appreciating those moments!

Relatable
We all have pivot points in our lives. Matt curates engaging guests to share their stories of turns in their lives for the better or worse. He does a great job of guiding the guest, then getting out of the way. What you'll find is that common threads bind us all. There are many forks in the road, and people choose based on a variety of reasons. In the end, we all must learn to navigate the path after our choices or circumstances. This podcast will help you relate to others.

It’s my life
I really resonated with the guest on the episode I listened to. Although the particulars are different, I have had my own moment of needing to find my passion and follow it. The pandemic helped with that, somewhat, but keeping going toward that goal has been a step by step process and this episode just helped to know I was on the journey I was meant to be.
