Excellent Tips and Reminders
I have been listening for quite a while now along with a wide array of other podcasts. However, episodes 147 and 148 just were so fantastic that I was compelled to say how great this podcast is.
Matt conducts really good interviews. He was terrific working with Irv Grousbeck in 148 and holding the mock workplace conversation. I’ve had similar discussions at work and never handled nearly as well as Matt did nonetheless bringing in the extra as suggested by the guest.
I loved the way in 147 that Whitney Johnson specifically recognizes what a great job Matt does at repeating back information after a conversation. It reminded me to do so in my work conversations that day.
I shared 147 and 148 with colleagues at work.

I really enjoy listening to the "Think Fast, Talk Smart" podcast! Each episode has something to offer! My favorite was episode 107, where Jenny hosts Matt. I especially loved Matt’s honest feedback to Jenny! It was very insightful and also addictive ❤️

This podcast is a game changer!
I have listened to 35+ episodes of this podcast (some twice). The nuggets of wisdom that I have collected from each episode have helped me build my confidence and improve my presentation skills when the pressure is on. The simple frameworks and plug-and-play advice Matt and his guests provide have also helped my teammates and leaders at work (I often share episodes with them).
After transitioning from a long teaching career to corporate last year, I felt unsure when running meetings and leading demos for corporate executives, but this podcast (and Matt’s book and videos) have helped me completely change my perspective — I now enter a call excited!
A few of my favorite takeaways:
- It’s not a performance, it’s.a conversation.
- Connection > perfection!
- Dare to be dull (be a brick, not a cathedral)
- What/So What/Now What framework
- Less is more (be trustworthy, concise, and specific…I tend to do the latter by sharing key data)

Strategic Communication: Crafting Impactful Conversations
I wanted to express my gratitude for the insightful content Professor Abrahams shared in your podcast. In addition to all the valuable communication techniques you discussed, the biggest takeaway for me was the importance of effective communication through diverse perspectives. This approach has significantly enhanced my cultural intelligence. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

Thank you.
First off if I leave a review then that means it’s really good or really bad. This podcast is TOO GOOD! I’ve learned so much and the host Matt he’s not mono tone and he really brings credible experts to the podcast. My favorite so far is obviously, Kim Scott I have her book and haven’t started it yet, but listening to that podcast episode makes me eager to want to read the book, but overall this podcast is so amazing. I’ve learned so much about communication and how to go about it in Weather work life, social life, or the tough conversations and I really hope this podcast never ends because one of my main goals is to really build my communication and if that’s your goal, this is the podcast for you!!

Everyone can learn from this
I had Matt Abrahams as my professor at de anza college about 10 years ago. I learned a lot in his class and became more confident in myself. With every episode I’m building on that by gaining new perspectives and learning more about strategic communication. Overall, a very enjoyable and helpful podcast.
