Joshua Blatman
★★★★★ PRO
I enjoyed speaking with Joshua. We had an interesting conversation and he is an amazing human. I may not be able to use the show as I'm not certain I understand the answers to my questions and lots of his message etc. he has something there and is so very passionate but may need to work on his guest approach before signing up for others. Wish him all the best!

I had a wonderful conversation with David, featuring challenging, thought-provoking questions and an exploration of many topics listeners are eager to learn more about. My only request is that these recordings be made available to the general public, as I haven't been able to find them online yet.

How points work
10 per recorded episode · 5 per review written · 3 per review received · +1 for each 4★ received, +2 for each 5★.
Only connections marked as recorded count, and a review only counts once its episode has been recorded. Episodes are dated when they were recorded and reviews when they were written, so the two can land in different periods. Profiles that have paused matching are not shown.
