I find myself stopping every episode to write some insight down. So helpful

I was recently introduced to Optimal Work via a discussion Dr. Majeres had with Dr. Larry Arnn of Hillsdale College. I really connected with the discussion and began listening to Optimal Work. As a professionally fulfilled design architect for over 40 years, working from Dallas, TX, we moved to the rural Rockies about 3.5 years ago to build a house & studio for our new “path.” Due to many things, our lives have been extremely challenging, filling me (and my wife) with anxiety and unpredictable experiences. I appreciate your ideas about embracing anxiety, seeking creative fulfillment and hope to gain more understanding & satisfaction from listening more. Thank you for your clarity and obvious appreciation for your faith. I want to be inspired by the things I do again and I believe this can help.

I am a stay at home mom and love this podcast! It helps me so much. Thank you, Optimal Work!

This is a highly recommended podcast for everyone!!!!! I have grown more as a person in the last month after discovering this show. Negative things in my life, things I’ve never contemplated to any degree, have been brought to light with the help of of this podcast. Also- change- knowing real change is possible with the tools that are part of their discussion is hugely beneficial. 6-stars! Thank you Dr. Kevin Majeres M.D. !!!!!!!!!!

The length of the podcasts, the topics, and the overall approach of both Sharif and Kevin makes this an incredible podcast to listen to. I've done the master class as well and doing that along with listening to this is life changing. I've also noticed that the conversation between Sharif and Kevin is less stiff and more lighthearted and funny than earlier episodes. They still get the point across but it sounds more natural and like two friends discussing. Where can we submit questions to potentially be answered on the podcast? Thanks for all you guys do!

This is a great podcast. A daily listen with great information on so many topics: productivity, relationships, anxiety, personal and professional growth, and so much more

Your work is changing my life and has given me the tools I need to embrace the crosses God gives me in order to better love and serve Him and others.

I’ve been listening since mid-July, when I had some pretty epic professional and family life events. This podcast has been transformational for my life, not only professionally but also personally. I can’t say I’ve implemented all the advice - I can’t even remember it all at this point! - but I get a nudge from every episode that tweaks my preconceived notions of reality, especially when it comes to neuroscience, psychology, and counseling. Don’t be afraid, though, this isn’t a technically dense conversation. These gentlemen are looking at real-life situations with what I perceive to be a very fresh take. My one misgiving is the applicability of this advice to people in certain life situations: people with very young children (will be frustrated by the episodes on sleep), stay-at-home-parents and homeschooling families might struggle to find some of the counseling wholly applicable, but that could be a veiled challenge waiting to be discovered by what is certainly a very small portion of the population (even if I belong to this population). I look forward to a holy life with a growth-mindset!

Not sure how this isn’t on the front page of the WSJ. Dr Kevin knows what he is talking about and the approach actually works

Dr Majeres has crafted a substantive philosophy that really does have the power to change your life. Thank you for your work!

Thank you Daniel Y this podcast is 🔥

Great for work, family, relationships, and personal goals. I regularly share episodes from this podcast with everyone around me and even have a “pitch” with my favorite episodes saved in my Notes app. Keep up the great work Dr. Kevin and Sharif Younes

Dr. Mayers is a truly wise man. This podcast seems just like the others, but when you listen to it you find much substance.

This podcast has helped me immensely in many areas of my life. The conversations are focused and always include practical steps to implement the optimal work approach.

I look forward to the new podcast every week! Their words are profound and have honestly changed my life. Their perspective is always so fresh and balanced but the underlying principles are always the same making it possible to remember and practice. VERY helpful, profound and perfect for what ails you.

I learn something in every episode and Dr. Maiares is so easy going and pleasant to learn from!

I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Life changing!

HI SHERRIF

Human formation at its best, I have learned a lot by listening to this program. Highly recommend

No fluff all substance. Practical, useful and well worth the time spent to listen.

Awkward guys can teach you a whole lot on how to live your life. Keep up the good work!!

As others have already written, I cannot express enough how this podcast and being an Optimal Work subscriber has changed my life for the better. Dr. Majeres is so clear and engaging in his presentation of this theory of growth, which actually works in real life. As the title of this post implies, it has completely changed how I think about and work toward growth and habits. Both Sharif and Rashad are great co-hosts and ask questions that help clarify how I can put this theory into practice. Listen once, and start growing today!

This podcast has been life-changing for me. First, let me tell you what it’s not. It’s not a podcast that just offers platitudes and tired advice you’ve already heard, such as “try being more grateful.” It’s not a series of conversations with people plugging a product or book that may or may not have a marginal effect of your productivity. It’s not a discussion of abstract scientific studies and concepts that have no translation to practical reality. No. This one’s different folks. This one gives you actionable steps on how to make your life better, and an entire new framework for approaching your career and anything else. It’ll change the way you look at work, and the way you approach it. And most importantly, it actually works.

Finding ‘The Golden Hour’ podcasts have been a life-changing discovery for me. I’ve been able to get a diagnosis for my negative habits. I’ve also learnt many self-help tips. I love this podcast.

One episode is life-changing! Highly recommended!

Dr Kevin Majeres and Sharif Younes offer really good solutions to living a good and virtuous life. They help with work, relationships and learning to express yourself at your highest potential according to your values and beliefs. I have followed this podcast since the beginning and I listen every week. If you want to positively impact your life and grow in your own personal development and growth, I would like to gently suggest you devour the content from this show and see how your life, your habits and your overall perspective begin to gradually brighten.

I’ve only been listening for a week and half, but these podcasts have already been extraordinarily helpful with overcoming procrastination, doing quality work, etc. I’m considering joining Optimal Work as a subscriber now. Cannot recommend enough.

This podcast is very practical for my life at work and in the home. Each podcast has some great insights, suggestions, and ideas to think about and implement in your daily life. Thank you both for producing this podcast - and keep up the great work.
