Personal Best

Personal Best celebrates small ambitions, half-wins and the quiet satisfaction of getting less bad at things. Each week we help ordinary people work through the little things they’d never bring to a life coach — like having the courage to dine alone at a fancy restaurant or getting less awkward at handshakes. Let us be your self-improvement sidekicks!

This show and Jonathan Goldstein’s shows make me realize how wonderful Canada is. Silly and fun while also tackling actual issues. How do they do it? Oh Canada! 🇨🇦 Please come back!
Baby come back

Please bring this show back. I find myself smiling multiple times every episode. I heard this described as Nathan for You in podcast form and it is, but less cringey. It’s heartwarming and humorous and I love listening.

Have you ever listened to something that just makes you so happy to hear it? I love how the concept is helping people. I’m so excited for everyone who accomplished their goals and at the end of a full day binge fest I still can’t get enough!
Soooooo GOOD!

Two guys trying to help people become better

Self-help by two regular dudes. Sometimes they hit it out of the park, but most of the time they totally miss their mark. Regardless of the result, the joy is in the journey. Just the fact that they hear people out and try to help them, actually does help. It’s a Canadian This American Life, but instead of just listening to someone’s story, they try to help the person achieve something they always wanted. I chuckle and cringe and smile every single episode; all emotions I love getting from a podcast. Thanks for a great show!
