In this episode of the Learning from Smart People Podcast, host Rob Oliver shares three stories from his experiences.

During the episode, Rob asked for input from you, the audience. Please send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]. You could also contact him via social media or through the "contact us" page on the website. Feel free to mention that you felt the ending was a little bit rushed! (It was.
