Doug provides an amazing combination of entrepreneurship, leadership, and religion in all of his podcasts. Always has amazing guests on, and asks them the best questions to get the best info out of every podcast. Highly recommend!!

Doug never stops surprising me with the incredible conversations each week and the caliber of guests he brings on the podcast.

Doug Smith’s guests and content are always helpful for my leadership journey. His interview skills always bring out fascinating insights and conversations. I highly recommend!

This is an amazing podcast and has helped changed my life. Listening to this podcast I have been able to get meetings with leaders following the tips Doug gives. On top of this, the information I have gotten from Doug’s episodes with other leaders has been so valuable to my growth.

Great podcast to give you practical tools on how to be a better person, leader, and goal setter and accomplisher . If I had to sum up the encouragement and wisdom he shares, it is to live with intentionality.

I have been listening to Doug for years. His content is relevant, helpful, inspiring and usable in my leadership roles. Doug’s genuine interest in his guest makes for a great interview! I really enjoy the lightning round questions! I look forward to every episode. Take a listen. Well worth your time.

I recently found you via LinkedIn. I then found you have a podcast. I’m new to the Pittsburgh area and looking to network as much as I can. So I figured trying to connect with you and checking out your podcast is a good first first. My wife and I just listened to your episode with Jordan Raynor. It was amazing! I’ve listened to it again already. I’ve shared it with two friends and they have listened twice. Keep up the great work with great guests and awesome content!

This podcast found me in a tough time in my life. My father had just passed and I was looking to bring more meaning into my life. Doug’s podcast provided me with direction and actionable steps to make my life better. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking to optimize their life and become the best version of themselves.

Doug does an excellent job with this podcast. His interviews have a really nice flow to them and he asks relevant questions that provide valuable insight to the listener! The episode with John O’Leary was my favorite and stuck with me for days after listening to it. Keep up the good work!

Great podcast! I especially enjoyed his episode 308 on podcasting lessons he learned and wished he had known earlier on. I love it when people share tips and tricks about anything they learned that can spare people some pain if they'll just pay attention! This episode is valuable not just for podcast hosts (and aspiring hosts) but also people who are podcast guesting. Seeing things from the host's point of view can help a guest establish best practices on how to strengthen their relationship with hosts prior to and after the interview and be the type of guest they will refer to other hosts or sometimes even invite back. I really like Doug's style in this podcast as he's easy to understand and brings in some great guests who share an immense amount of valuable content.

Love the L3 Leadership podcast! Doug is a great interviewer, and always seems to be able to get great insight out of the leaders he has conversations with! If you’re hungry to keep leveling up as a leader, this pod is for you!

I never miss an episode! The guest speakers are spot on, Doug is a great interviewer… I especially love the lightning round! I’ve learned so much from this podcast and I listen to them over and over again… It should be in every leaders toolbox!

Doug has a bunch of solid leaders and great insights in his podcast.

Doug is an awesome podcast host, and it’s clear he spends a lot of time preparing to have a thoughtful and thorough conversation with each leader he brings on! Thanks for helping me in-turn become a better leader, L3!

Doug Smith and this podcast series has changed my life as a leader. This series has strengthened my faith and empowered me. I know some of the leaders interviewed and I can vouch for their authenticity. I appreciate all the great advice in this series. Real leadership talk from real leaders!!!! Can’t beat that.

I recently listened to the episode with Kim Scott and she had some great insights into the meaning of just leadership, the power of feedback, and the importance of a strong code of conduct. Kim’s quote, “managing a small business, people are people” really resonated with me as a small business owner as I always strive to be empathetic with my team and resonate with them on a human level. Doug did a great job of personalizing Kim’s experiences and knowledge as a leader to be applicable for your listeners - a true testament to his hosting.

This is one of the most insightful podcasts that I have ever come across! Doug does such a great job of sharing his wisdom and I love how he leads meaningful conversations with guests who bring so much experience to the table. Highly recommend checking this show out - you won’t be disappointed!

I find Doug’s podcast to be consistently relevant and always adding value to my life. I often share episodes as it provides inspiration to people in many different stages of life. I am grateful to Doug and highly recommend others to listen to the podcast also

The L3 Leadership podcast offers amazing content for leaders of all kinds, from Parents to Presidents. Look back through the archives and subscribe to stay up to date with all the awesome guests and insights from Doug and his team.

I found this podcast through the Jesse Cole interview and was just...blown away! Jesse always delivers the goods...but Doug did an AMAZING job with the interview..really brought out some great nuggets that I hadn't heard before while following Jesse and there were moments I'm in tears. I'm on my second episode now and just LOVE Doug's heart! I'll be listening to many more!

I happened to stumble on this podcast (I believe through divine appointment) and instantly connected with it. It spoke to my heart on the very first episode and every episode since. Highly recommend this to any business leaders!

I love this podcast! I agree that all leadership is only as good as it’s leader! The leader must never stop growing! Love this content! Keep this up! Angie Tonini-Rogers

Leadership is hard! This podcast is real, honest and challenging! Everything a leader needs to hear!

Listening to the L3 Leadership Podcast with Doug Smith is uplifting. His curiousity to discover the qualities of the best leaders never disappoints and I am always left with ideas to better my life. Doug has a relatable style that makes me feel as if I'm invited to a private conversation with some of the leading voices in America today. Thank you, Doug, for your continued programming.

I have enjoyed Doug’s podcasts for the past 5 years. He has wisdom beyond his years, and I believe it is because of the quality of leaders he keeps around him. However, what has added the most value for me in these podcasts is the personal interactions I’ve had with Doug and Laura. I attended a Mastermind led by Laura in 2018. I watched how they balance leadership with work/family life because the group was led in their home. I would watch every week as Doug would take the girls upstairs so that Laura could lead our group without interruption. I observed servant leadership. It impacted me greatly. Not everyone can experience this level of interaction with Doug and Laura. I want to let you know that the walk and the talk are well aligned. This makes every podcast more valuable to me.

Every episode is packed full of great content that I can practically apply to my leadership. Doug is the best interviewer and his questions draw out incredible answers from some of the nations top leaders. I truly love this podcast!

Speaking directly into my soul. Very powerful words of encouragement, and it’s about furthering god’s kingdom. What else is there? Let’s grow!! 🌱🔝🌱🔝🌱 Extremely grateful for the L3 Team and what you do. THANK YOU 🙏

Been listening to this podcast for what has to be a few years now and have really seen personal growth in myself from a leadership perspective, but also from a personal “zen/happy/peace” perspective. When I started listening I started to personally pick up on my flaws as a leader, but as I kept listening, I started to feel more comfortable asking and taking tough criticism, that was constructive but I felt that I avoided because I didn’t want any criticism. As I get ready for a challenging season ahead, I find myself in an intense season and growth and I plan on following the steps outlined on the Pod. I started reaching out to experts in my field just last week. I’m really grateful for Doug. I honestly found this pod because I was so upset with my leaders at the time (the higher ups above me) and I wanted a pod that would inspire me to stop me gossiping, losing a passion for what I do, and actually help me find the fire to help me carry out our mission statement to the best of my abilities in - a rising tide lifts all boats. Thanks again to Doug and the L3 Leadership pod, I hope to connect in person soon.

I recently heard Doug on another podcast and was intrigued by his perspective on leadership and life. This got me interested in hearing more from him... and I am so glad I jumped into listening to the L3 podcast! His messages are motivating and informational, which inspire me to set goals and build myself up as a leader. I feel like I am in a season of change, and this podcast is just what I needed! I also love that he is a person of faith! L3 is a must listen to!!!

Doug and his stellar guests shine the brightest of lights on what it means to be a leader! Bold, insightful, and engaging are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. You’ll get tons of actionable advice and tangible tips, but you’ll also get heaps of inspiration from truly engaging individuals that have been where you are and want to see you succeed. Thanks for putting out such a superb show Doug - keep up the great work!

The host of the L3 Leadership podcast, highlights all aspects of business, leadership and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

Just had a chance to listen to Doug's latest episode with Rachel Cruze of Ramsey Solutions. Doug always does a gerat job with these podcasts. He gives great insight and asks the probing questions to get the best out of people. Give this and all of the other podcasts from Doug a listen. He always does a great job.

This podcast is packed with great insight and skills that any leader can use whether in business or life!

I've been going to the L3 Meetings and Masterminds since January of 2016. This is where I ran into my future wife, my direction on leading, mentoring and coaching people... As well as living called according to God's plan and purpose for my life. If you haven't listened, you will not be turning off the dial!! The quote below will express why L3 Leadership is in existence today and continues to be. "Being a leader is not defined by the number of people that follow you but the number of people you impact to accomplish their own goals/dreams."

This is a must-listen to podcast that is packed with wisdom, encouragement, lessons learned, and practical, everyday inspiration to continue to become the best leader and grow to your maximum potential. It's challenged me to dream bigger, raise my own standards, think differently, and sharpened me personally in my career, at home, and in my relationships. Doug consistently draws out the most amazing wisdom of leaders through his interviews, and brings his own unique ideas to the table through his personal leadership journey. The events also provide excellent content. Subscribe, share, and participate in this L3 Leadership community, and you will find yourself growing exponentially as a leader!

If you are in a position at a church, business, non profit, or are just trying to lead your family, listen to this podcast! Great guests and awesome wisdom! - Alex DeRosa

This podcast is tremendous, impacting and educating. The vast guests from Ken Coleman to Mike Tomlin is awesome and refreshing.

This is easily one of my favorite podcasts. The thoughtful questions Doug presents to each guest leads to them sharing great life lessons and building community. Faith-based leaders in ministry, or the secular market will benefit from this!

Doug Smith does an excellent job providing value in a powerful and effective manner. There is no fluff. I’ve learned so much from Doug’s lessons, interviews and guest speakers. If you’re looking to grow in your leadership abilities, this is a great resource for you.

The L3 Leadership podcast provides high quality interviews and lessons that will improve your leadership skills and abilities. I fully recommend listening to the podcast!

I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast!!! A must listen if you want to better yourself and the attitude you have in your circumstances!! I'm so thankful to you, Doug! And, the Lord of course. :) The SHOW UP, SHUT UP & SHOVEL really resonated with me; along with, I'M RESPONSIBLE AND THE BUCK STOPS WITH ME. Ahem,,,,,,, can I just say, WOW!!!! I'm so thankful that I finally understand what this means. I'm going to write this down and stick it to my steering wheel ;-) I have tough conversations with my boss and this helps me, incredibly. Anyway, I know compliments go in one ear and out the other; but I'm so thankful. <3 Love in Christ, ~Jordan Livada of Beaver County

The Gashaw Abebe podcast was inspiring and uplifting! Thanks for sharing

L3 Leadership is an amazing organization and podcast. It has helped me greatly improve as a person, leader, and influencer!

I absolutely love listening to these podcasts! Not only are they informative and truly inspiring, but they are short enough to listen to on my way to work for that extra morning inspiration! One of my favorite podcasts so far was "How to Journal." I have been thinking about journaling for a long time, but I never really knew what to write. Doug gave me some great ideas on what to write about and how to look back and evaluate your past quarter and your past year to help yourself grow. The same day as listening to the podcast, I bought a journal and have had so much fun recording all of the amazing things that have happened in my life. It keeps me grounded, motivated and full of creative ideas! Thank you, Doug!
