Tensor tympani

Hey guys,

I’ve never written a review for a podcast, but since Sam called everyone out and I have some mildly useful feedback ... here we go!

I absolutely love the format, concept, material covered in the podcast. I come from a family of entrepreneurs in the sense that most of my lineage has owned their own business. I have that drive in me, but not the proper guidance and mentorship that I’ve always dreamed of - (read as: Daniel San seeks Mr. Miyagi.)

I had though of going around asking successful and inspirational individuals to see if I could just shadow them or ask some questions about what has led them to success. Even thought about creating a show or magazine. Shaun and Sam five is an inside look at what it takes to be a real successful entrepreneur. You can be that fly in the wall and hear amazing insight on what it takes. This has reignited my drive to do something incredible, not just for me and my family, but for the world. Thank you guys.

The ONLY real gripe I have had since the beginning is the audio quality. In the beginning it was real bad, but they’ve definitely purchased better equipment/software, and maybe even have a sound/tech guy? The most recent episodes as of 7/1, have been remote due to Covid, and other things. Perhaps this is just unique to the current recording situation but, my issue now is just the extreme fluctuations in volume. I listen in my car through my car stereo. Sometimes Shaun’s soft and soothing voice is so calm and soothing, with some excited ups and downs. Sometimes it’s a little hard to hear Shaun or other guests so I crank the volume a little. Then I get BLASTED by Sam and have to turn the volume down. Hence the name of the review. I just learned the tensor tympani is the muscle in your ear that deadens the sound to protect your ear from loud noises. Some of us can even hear it as a rumbling or the sound of rolling thunder.

Anyways, the TLDR is - I love the podcast and have probably listened to this more than any other. If there’s any possible way to somehow limit the spikes in volume or monitor that better it would be frickin fantastic.

Thank you so much for the great work you do.
