A very personal interview
I found my conversation with Neal to be very personal and rewarding. He was able to get to the heart of the work we do with men and women coming from prison, and more important, why we do it. He also asked many insightful questions about what I can "my second chance novel," RUNNING AS FAST AS I CAN. Although fiction, it puts in story form the entire Good Samaritan Home story. I had a great time talking with Neal.

This podcast will make you ask questions AND laugh.
This podcast is deep, but also keeps things light enough to leave you thinking about why you have a smile on your face. The host is a consummate professional who also brings incredible intuition to the show. Don't sleep on how well comedy can work to bring out profound insights into humanity, life, and existence as we know it.

Neil is a great guy!
I have listened to a LOT of podcasts, and Neil is one of the coolest/quirkiest/most unique. His superpower is that there is no one else like him on the planet, and listening to the show is a fun experience. You never know what you are going to get, but his truth and points are solid. I like these types of podcasts because they can be lighthearted, and sometimes we just need a boost of lightening of the heavy air around us. Life is tough, and Neil is real, but also just an encouraging and fun voice to listen to!

Great experience! Thank you for walking in my shoes!
I want to thank you Neal for asking me to join your podcast! It is very humbling to have somebody put your shoes on and walk with you in them! It was a great experience. Your questions were perfect and prompting and honest. I hope people will find my story, encouraging. How God uses a broken person to walk with the broken and help lift up the needy! I hope it will prompt people to do the same! I have nothing to offer, but Jesus Christ! I’m thankful he lets me be a part of his work! Thank you again. It was a great experience!

I said WHAT?
Neil got me to say things I wasn't expecting. He asked questions that dug deep into what I was trying to explain and pulled out revelations that were new to even me. The conversation flowed and it all seemed to tie up in a nice neat bow. Neil is a pro at getting to the heart of the matter. I loved it.

Excellent experience as a Guest
Neal is an excellent host and his heart is evident in the easy, conversational way he hosts. He is easy to converse with and doesn’t shy away from difficult conversations, but does so in a graceful and kind way. His podcast is so needed to be able to see life from perspectives other than our own.

an absolutely fantatstic conversation with Neil
Neil, is one of as kind. Many podcast hosts are in search of gaining followers, making a point, discussing a particular subject etc., which is all fine, however, Neil's objective when interviewing the guest is to bring out as much as possible messages that can actually help others. It was a real pleasure meeting Neil and to be a guest on his show. I know his shows have helped countless listners and I was proud to be part of his program.

Passion and Unique Scenery
I had such a fantastic experience working with Neil on the Other People’s Shoes podcast. It is clear that he is passionate about what he does, which is why he is one of the best in the business. Not only did we have some very deep and meaningful conversation, but there were also some organic side-convos that I think really added unique scenery to our flight.

Authentic and intentional
It was a real pleasure being on the podcast. Neil is a person who truly cares for people, and it’s obvious in the way that he asks questions and authentically relates. I really appreciate how he keeps the focus on Jesus and intentionally leads the conversation with questions that run deep and relatable topics that a variety of people can benefit from. The name of the show is what you get, learning how to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, and growing in compassion for those around us.
