  • Oh Say Sey
    Cheers to new beginnings
    I have been a long time fan of the One Thing, both the podcast and the practice. Jay coming back to the helm gives a refreshing look at what it means to dream and to do. So many of my friends are in stages of growth and reinvention - this podcast gives such practical ways to grow slowly and then suddenly into the life we want to imagine. Highly recommend a listen! And even better - a subscribe. :)
  • Lgobp
    Lost focus
    Prime focus no longer “The One Thing”. Has some good content but definitely changed course after changing host. Sorry but the caliber has never recovered.
  • Kat102
    Too much stammering
    I can’t listen to this duo anymore. Hasn’t been the same since the change.
  • Snowwmman
    Lost interest
    Bold concept with no real context.
  • mvelasco07
    A must-listen!

    We always need somebody in our back pocket to help us along the way. People to believe in you, people to help inspire you. I love the one thing!
  • GabbyDD
    ❤️The ONE Thing
    I loved the book when I read it years ago. I have it in audible to reread again soon. I find lots of value in everything they share. And I love that they’re incorporating lots of others to inspire us and share their experiences.

    The One Thing!!
    What a great way to start the day with positive motivation and insight!
  • Great upside and idea
    Excellent podcast
    I’ve read the book multiple times and there is so much to gain from just focusing on the main thing you want. Huge lesson in simplicity. Recommended.
  • Swearah1988

    Simple and Solid
    This is an outstanding podcast if you want to simplify your approach to success! Much needed in these busy, crowded, and uncertain times. Get the one thing and you’ll surpass the 99%!
  • JeremyVbeach
    My new #1 podcast
    This is amazing and I need this content.
  • TwallisKW
    Ladder Episode
    I loved the wooden nickel discussion. It really made you think about why you’re doing what you do. If it’s to get the approval of someone else or accolades that don’t matter, Wooden Nickels, maybe you need to rethink it. As usual, great episode!
  • bluefield_streetwear
    Very vague
    I’m going to keep this short. He knows what he’s talking about but he just wants you to buy in to needing his training program. He makes this podcast redundant and very shallow to have you wanting more. In my opinion, listening is a waste of time
  • LWGR2
    Best Year
    Best year in multiple areas . Gearing up and still drilling. Great podcast!
  • GBorrell0728
    Podcast is life changing!
    This is such a great podcast. I use the 4-1-1 for my real estate business and I’m still learning how to sharpen my skills through this podcast. I can’t wait to read the book! 100% recommended.
  • EricaBushwell

    Going through life with meaning
    I stumbled on this podcast through another podcast and I’m so glad it found me. I’ve listened to just three episodes and all are so fulfilling and have potential to bring growth in my life. Thanks for the broadcast
  • Diverboy44
    New favorite self improvement podcast
    Ep 292 was my first listen and it was totally worth it. This a great podcast with many great takeaways! I recommend it to all my friends.
  • jennferd
    Same repeating theme
    This episode was terribly painful to listen to. It was the same basic theme repeated in a few reworded sentences. I typically enjoy this podcast and find take aways but this could have been reduced to 5 minutes and still gotten the point across.
  • Trojans Oceanside
    Ton of takeaways!
    Anytime I listen to any podcast or read a book I always look for 2 or 3 ideas that I can then take action on that will move the needle in my life. Time is our most important commodity. Spending time on this podcast is never a waste of time! In fact the “free takeaways” from each podcast I have listened to has been invaluable in my business, family and the way I look @ my goals.
  • Ima listener
    A Must Listen to Show!
    Geoff is an awesome host who brings on incredible guests! Completely worth tuning in!

    Episode 277!!!

    Mind expanding, Life changing
    "The world doesn't need a new way to set goals, they need to learn to have a relation with them." "Not a mountain to climb but a compass to guide me" I’m going on this journey!
  • tienenonombre
    Amazing Episode 277
    I am not a dad yet, but I am a multiple business owner. My wife and I are planning on having a kid or kids. This truly inspired me to look at my life and understand my priorities. Am I a business or a husband first? I want to start now and go into 2021 focused on being an amazing husband to my wife with words of affirmation bc that is my wife’s love language and make time to be a father. Start now! Don’t wait! Take control of your time and what is important to you! Thank you for the podcast!
  • Agaldo
    Very practical and to the point
    You can tell that the people who make this podcast really value your time. They give you exactly the information that you need with clear actionable steps. It is up to you to put it into practice. This is my kind of podcast.
  • coachbunch
    Constant Stream of Life Hacks!!
    The host, Geoff Woods, does a phenomenal job of reducing life’s complexities to profoundly simple starting places!! One Thing concepts are key to accomplishing big things by focusing on the things that matter most first.
  • Jakub[SOP]
    A must listen Leadership Podcast
    This podcast meets at the junction of your professional and personal development. Work is a big part of our lives, so this podcast doesn't only makes sense, but also mirrors the reality of life and work intertwined. The host covers interesting topics and knows how to ask the right questions!
  • Peoriapole
    Caught up
    I always said I would subscribe, rate, and leave a review once I got current. I started at episode 0 over a year ago and have gone through all of them. A lot of the information isn’t relevant to my work situation, but it is very relevant to my personal life. If I weren’t so poor and introverted I would give the community they have created. Thanks for all of the life lessons.
  • Mark Donohue

  • Ka12ina
    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
    Everything about the ONE Thing is truly amazing. Their advice about how to increase productivity has really inspired me to prioritize my life as far as organizing my time, mind, workspace, and projects. It all makes sense. I struggle wih organization, sleep, all of the above. I guess I just want to say that I am so gratfeul for the 411 plan I'm about to organize my life with this 411 plan and I am excited! I can't wait to put these tips and tools into action! Blessings, Karina
  • Daves Alaska Homes
    Always great and thanks
    I’ve been following and listening to every podcast since they began. Thanks for the impact you have in so many lives especially in these perilous times. Dave Johnson WASILLA ALASKA 907-863-7289
  • PineyGirl60
    Today’s One Thing podcast was terrific
    I guess you could say I have been fortunate. I am still going to work every day (in my office across from the hospital for which I work). I had been seriously interviewing to move onto what hopefully be my last job prior to retirement in 7-10 years. Now that’s been turned upside down. I think this 66 day challenge will help me to find that next chapter.
  • Organized in Indy
    Changed My Life
    I’ve listened to 122 episodes so far. This podcast has literally changed my life. I share it often with coworkers, family, and friends. Give it a listen!
  • DanielAshurst
    Perfection Stalls Dreams
    I admit it, I’m a suffering and practicing (but not for long, thanks to this podcast and it’s great tools) perfectionist. I have been able to hide behind my work over the years, because my career in some ways rewards those who get the details covered. That’s me. But in my Real Estate sales career, which is a parallel career, doesn’t exactly reward that. This podcast has helped me to get on the road to daily lead generation that is flawed and full of holes. Why? Because without starting I will never fix the flaws. So here I go failing forward to success, I WILL win! I choose to embrace my imperfections and DO, what I have been afraid to fail at. Thank you Geoff so much for your humility and grace with which you deliver these truth bombs. My life will never be the same after meeting you at the Time Blocking breakout session at Dallas! No more fear, I have faith in the process. One broken, yet moving forward day at a time!!
