    Imposters Connects on a Different Level
    Love the show and how it unmasks the core issues of our current state of society. Alex is a great interviewer.
  • 336va
    Highly recommend this show
    Wonderful, very informative, enjoyed every episode.
  • Baltimore MD Listener
    Episode 10 On Miss Grass Misses Out
    This interview of the Miss Grass founder was a great inside view of turning personal struggles into financial success. Yet listening to it nobody would have any idea that ingesting cannabis does have actual negative impacts on brain development. It’s not all roses. It would’ve been good to also hear how Miss Grass confronts these areas as well.

    Fantastic Vulnerable Topics
    I have to say this is the best self help Podcast I have listened to! Extremely relevant and helpful. Thank you!
  • markmarlmark
    Vulnerable and helpful show
    Great guests, and vulnerable topics. I really appreciate all of the transparency discussed.
  • tomrichie4215
    Makes me feel seen
    Loving these vulnerable conversations, especially the Howie Mandel epi
  • MoreStoriesPlease1998
    What happened to this show?
    This show started out so good with real conversations about successful people overcoming mental health issues. But lately it’s just… kinda shallow
  • Greg Joe Devlin
    Narcissistic babble
    Self absorbed millennials spinning in their chars and expounding psycho babble about how broken and traumatized they are as they cope with everyday life. Harden up.

    Don’t get Kevin love
    Please he’s so bad to us
  • Rhpos
    The amount of “likes” makes this unlistenable
    The dialect using “like” as mid-sentence punctuation makes me cringe. I cannot listen to this, despite the potential insights contained in the content.
  • Decaf87
    Love this podcast!
    Thank you for having transcripts! Reading is my favorite way to learn. I did listen to part of the episode just to hear what the production sounded like and I want to compliment your editors. The music choices are really good. I just finished the episode with Apolo Ohno and it was so good! I love that you guys talked about radical self-acceptance and finding out what you really want.
  • sara-o26
    EVERYONE LISTEN!!
    YES! This podcast is such a safe place for those struggling with mental health. Alex hosts such an important conversation and let’s listeners know they are not alone in.
  • KristinFeinberg
    Important Conversations!
    Really great to see mental health being talked about by some of the most successful people. Looking forward to the rest of the season!
  • Brianderario4
    Alex is back at it with another amazing podcast
    Love Alex continuing his success from Founder’s Journal to here, where I can relate to business leaders in their life struggles. Excited to see more!
  • a.Per27
    Thank you
    Listening to Justin’s story on sobriety has made me reflect on my extra-curricular activities and realize how much time I can actually have if i actually focus on things that make me happy. I think i’m ready to commit to this just like him! Thank you Morning Brew as your podcasts have helped me a lot
  • Reisen89
    Enlightening and relatable! A MUST listen!
    Wow, what an important breakthrough podcast this is. Mental health challenges are rarely talked about, especially in the context of business. Kudos to Alex for not only humanizing the experience but also how successful people have overcome or have gained the tools to continue their success even with struggles. This subject is so important to normalize and the show allows the audience to relate with the guests on a deeper level. Can’t wait to continue listening!
  • JG101010
    This is everything I wanted & more!!
    Imposters has quickly become a favorite listen of mine! Really appreciate Alex’s vulnerability & compassion which enables the guests to open up so freely. Excited for what’s to come!
  • ColdBrewYearRound
    SO GOOD
    This podcast is only 2 episodes in but it is already showing up to be one of the most needed shows out there in the business world. Transparency and vulnerability are superpowers and seeing these big names showcasing that superpower sets the stage for a lot of folks to do the same.
  • benji finger
    Really great conversation around an important topic
    This podcast is a must listen for anyone facing challenges in their life. Alex is a great host who covers a topic that is extremely under discussed in today’s world. Looking forward to more!
  • kp2278
    Essential listen for anyone with imposter syndrome
    It’s easy to think that successful entrepreneurs have their you-know-what together but I love this glimpse into what really happens on someone’s path to success
  • Al Bren
    Amazing
    Removing the stigma on mental health is so important. Hearing from these famous people on how they overcame their own mental health challenges is so inspiring. Amazing work!
  • Thom332
    Great subject!
    A subject matter that couldn’t be more timely given all the discussion around mental health in the workplace. Really looking forward to seeing with Alex has in store with this - binged the first two episodes and can’t wait for more.
  • Lisagoldsman1997
    So awesome
    Great content around such an important topic. Great host and guests!
  • chabonic
    Amazing conversations
    Could not believe how honest the host and guests on this show are about their mental health, and like how hard it can be. Made me feel so much better about my own struggles, and gave me hope'
