Podcast: Exponential Series-Joy Multiplier

I love the series immensely, but listening to this podcast has made me savour at another level each episode during my second go around. This series isn’t just history, it’s about human motivation, and lets us see the camaraderie formed when working with a team devoted to an objective. That’s where the stories about all the people making the series comes in. During each episode, the podcast allows me to feel I’m part of the making of it as well as into the history of the event itself. It’s let me in on it at both levels.
