Revelatory & Cutting Edge

This phenomenal podcast is chock full of cutting-edge practical information and tools that can be applied immediately. John gets right to the heart of the issues and holds a space of congruency, compassion, and empowerment. The content demystifies science-based concepts and demonstrates the real-life and real-time impacts of the data in an engaging and digestible format. The sound quality is great and the delivery is concise and warm. The guests are awesome as well. You can tell everyone involved with this show has attained a level of mastery and peace in their lives and is motivated by building community and serving others. The value of this content is beyond what I can put into words and I highly recommend you experience it for yourself. This is one of my favorite ways to learn about relationship skills and wellness in general. John walks his talk; he is the real deal. That shines through from this podcast, to his book, to his private practice and the creation of the Presence Wellness Center in Austin. His work demonstrates a level of excellence I’ve rarely experienced.

Great Podcast

Simple, concise, and very well structured. No fluff and stuff, just really good insight and tools. And the host had a calming but supportive voice. He doesn’t over share or under share. Love the science behind the cast.

Powerful concepts about connection and intimacy!

This podcast is a treasure trove of relationship information that will help anyone who wants to be in a healthy relationship. As a therapist I am grateful to learn from John Howard and his guests and share this with my couples! Highly recommend. :)

So helpful!

It took me several months of listening by myself, feeling disconnected in my relationship, before I found the courage to email my husband an episode. He did not listen to it. It took another year before things were so bad that he was shouting “Divorce!” in my face. Somehow I finally managed to get him to listen. Now he is eating up the episodes, just like I did! It is so great to have John’s compassionate, yet manly, voice explain so many things that were not able to be heard out of my own mouth. I could not be more grateful!

I recommend this podcast to all my close friends. I enjoy the presentation of the content - easy to digest - yet in-depth and intellectual. The interviewees are relevant and credible and the topics are stimulating for relationship issues and how to resolve /manage difficulties. I came to this podcast looking for answers for my problems yet continue to listen as now we’re in maintenance phase where things are better. Thank you for this podcast and keep up the passionate work!! -Shelby

Actionable & Attainable

John breaks it down, gives the action plan, and the results keep me coming back. I've listened to tons of shows on relationships, but this is by far, the top of the list.

Love it!

I just discovered this podcast a couple weeks ago, and I'm so glad I did! Highly recommend this to anyone looking to discover new perspectives for helping to encourage their own growth, especially in their relationships. This podcast has helped remind/enlightenment me to the importance of stayingn on the same team with your partner in moments of conflict (remembering that you are working towards the same goals), that relationships are fundamental to learning about yourself and expanding your ego into a higher sense of self, and many many other lessons -- highly recommended!

insightful, interesting, amusing and so relevant

The topics and interviews in this podcast provide great insight into what is going on in my life and in my relationships. It gives me great perspective into how I relate to others and how I might do that in ways that deepen my ability to connect and navigate deep, rich relationships. I wish everyone I love would listen to this ongoing discussion on relationships and living a mindful and meaningful life. I give it a big thumbs up. Thanks for putting together such an intereting and helpful program.

Finally! A relationship podcast that resonates!

I am fortunate to have found this podcast scrolling through my Facebook Newsfeed. John meets with guests to go beyond the typical relationship advice to talk about what makes a relationship truly first-class. And it’s not just based on what people think works... John has dug in and done the research to back up his points. It’s clear Ready Set Love is trying to help the landscape for couples to take their relationship to the next level. I can’t wait to listen in on all the podcasts to come.

Authenticity as a goal

John refers to J.Pittman McGehee as "the last of the Jedi knights." Dr. McHeGee's light saber is the truth that being truly married is living and growing through the difficulties that marriage naturally offers. The podcast confronts the notion that relationship isn't good unless it is easy and the conversation is well worth our time and attention.

John knows his stuff!

This is an excellent podcast, super helpful, well thought out and put together. Great for anyone looking to strengthen their relationship. Thanks Ready Set Love!

Truly Actionable Content

This podcast has made a big difference for me and my relationships. I immediately implemented content from just the second episode and it had an amazing impact for me and my partner. The content from each episode provides so much value to me as a wife, mother, friend, daughter and sister.

Gift Giver...

What a helpful resource in a world that needs more connection and yet more often than not seems stuck in conflict. John Howard has a wonderful way of informing and inspiring when it comes to helping people sort out what really matters in all domains in life...workable, loving and vital relationships. John's insights and contributions in assisting others in gaining more clarity and his low-key, high-authenticity support of people in resolving the seemingly endless complexity that is part of any relationship is a gift to be unwrapped many times.

Clear Concise and Relatable information

I appreciate John's ability deliver and explain scientific theories and research in a 'simplified' and relatable manner. I've listened to three of the four podcasts and find myself taking away multiple valuable pieces of information from each episode. Thank you John for bringing more public awareness and understanding to the power of vulnerability, honest and open communication and how to address and resolve conflicts within a relationship. Looking forward to more!

A must listen!

This is a very meaningful and deep podcast worth your time!

Great Relationship Advice

I've loved John's first episodes and can't wait for more. His background, training and style combine to provide great insight and tips for any relationship. Great stuff!
Can not stop walking!

Great Podcast! Consequential, Passionate, Inspiring [and hugely helpful!]

Earlier today I listened to the second podcast, exploring Connection as a key to healthy relationship. By the end of the 20 minutes I had a sharpened understanding of the top four useful principles and how they are different than a focus on Communication. John's clear resonant voice and deep knowledge of the subject was captivating throughout. I learned and felt inspired during the talk to put some of this into practice. Then he emphasized at the very end that practicing was the key, not only the knowledge! Ok, later I happened to go on a nearby walk with my wife to see a new outdoor sculpture and I took some risks. Better connection happened! Great podcast John, thank you for your full heart and brillant mind that takes such involved subjects and make them interesting, inspiring and practical all at once! with appreciation, Rich

Life changing content

After listening to the first podcasts, I must say that they are truly life changing. The depth of experience and insight from John and his first guest Allana is profound. 5 stars. Hopefully everyone get access to this level of relationship wisdom.

You owe it to yourself

Humans are by nature wired for connection, yet in our overly device driven world people are now more disconnected than ever. John’s work will bring you back to the fundamentals - long forgotten- for building the groundwork of solid relationships. Sharing data from years of research with the audience so others can identify their own issues or areas of potential growth to formulate healthy, lasting bonds.
Leeleeleeah

Fascinating, entertaining, and applicable!

Ready Set Love! is one of those podcasts that leaves me feeling excited by what I've learned and more capable within my relationships, thanks to new insights. John Howard shares the latest info about the science of relationships in a digestible and entertaining way.

Listen to this if you want to learn how to connect with others!

I’m always blown away with Johns ability to clearly explain concepts in a way that empowers and enables me to make changes in my relationships. He is so deep, honest, and comforting- it’s refreshing! This podcast is great for people in all stages in life who want to learn how to connect with their loved ones.

Best Relationship Advice

This has such good information! I know I labelled it "best relationship advice"--but it's really more than advice. It gives a deeper understanding of the brain, and how to be smart in terms of working WITH rather than against our neurology in terms of creating security and satisfaction.
burntorange2011

Interesting physiological take on the Relationships

John and his team have brought out new ideas and insight into buildling a stronger relationship with your loved ones. The neurobiology and physiological differences you can learn from this podcast seem to really bring a lot of new and different thought into a relationship, no matter where on the spectrum you currently are.
Melanie Lauren

Ah, it all makes sense now.

Thanks for sharing what I didn't know, I didn't know, about the secrets of connection in relationship. These are things I'll remember forever. Highly recommend to anyone who seeks deeper connection in ANY kind of relationship -- be it romantic or just very important.

Incredible Insight!

JW3481

Perfect for me

When you don't want to go "in" to a therapist. In the comfort of your home and when you feel in the mood to work on your relationship. I enjoy the private, insightful and fun way the course is presented.

A Meaningful Podcast NOT TO BE MISSED!

Ready Set Love is a relevant, honest and easily adaptable approach to relationships that everyone should benefit from. Often times we take the people in our lives for granted when this is the area we should be focusing on the most. John Howard delivers wonderful guidance that I look forward to hearing each week.
