Rate ShowSuch a fun idea for a podcast! 💙
I’ll admit right away that I’m not that well versed in Star Trek. I only seem to recall the beginning of one of the movies I saw in theaters where the champagne bottle smashed into the spaceship? But Jeff has piqued my interest in it! He adds a layer of depth with his analyses and analogies that make me want to go more in depth into the show, very well done!!!

A Brilliant Edu-tainment Podcast
I try to fill my podcast feed with both educational and entertainment podcasts. This one helps me check both boxes. I sincerely hope this is helping me to improve both as a coach and a leader

A spoonful of Stardust makes the medicine go down
i’ve been listening to this podcast for a month, and I really like it. I’ll be honest, I usually can’t stand leadership and self-help podcasts, but this one has the magic formula for me. I feel like it will appeal to fans of the genre, and grumpy nerds like me.

Fun, entertaining, and informative
As a Trekkie, I love the episode recaps and insights. As a manager, I love the leadership tips and ideas Jeff explores. Add the extra benefits of humor and personal stories, makes this podcast a must listen.

Not a Star Trek fan, but…
This podcast is 100% worth the listen. I wanted to hear some leadership content, little did I know I was going be hooked on Star Trek…thankfully there’s plenty of episodes to carry me through for a while. Can’t wait to use the advice I learned as well as the Star Trek references at my business.

Enjoyable even for a non Trekkie
I really enjoyed the episodes I listened to, and I’m not even a Star Trek fan. That being said, it brought me back to my days of watching this show as a kid with my parents and I learned a few valuable lessons.

Unique and compelling
If you love StarTrek and you value leadership you’ll love this podcast! Jeff is fun to listen to and really takes time to develop the episodes, giving them a layer of depth you don’t often hear in leadership related podcasts. Viewing leadership through the lens of this iconic TV series is such a unique and compelling idea. Keep up the great work.

Production and Story
I listened to the episode “Unity“. Immediately the level of production stood out to me. The music and sound effects were perfect and well-placed.
I have never seen an episode of Voyager, but I grew up a huge TNG fan. Not to worry Jeff did a full recap of the episode of Voyager his unity episode was based on. It was amazing how entertaining his episode recap was. I found myself googling Chakotay and other characters.
Ultimately, the lesson from the episode was about cooperation and unity and leadership. It was a great way to illustrate those important principles. I’ll continue listening.
My only gripe was the frequency of ads. Perhaps one too many for the episode length.

Leadership Has Never Been So Fun
Jeff Akin makes leadership a blast. I love how he uses Star Trek to teach really complex stuff. He’s totally changed how I watch Star Trek and is an important part of my growth as a leader.

Jeff Akin As a Phenomenal Guest
MC Anime
He knows what he does and how Star Trek is his inspiration. The passion he has for what he does and giving purpose to people through leadership is wonderful. In one conversation there is not enough to express to get know him in that short amount of time. He is a great guy and strives for best version of yourself you can be. The training you can receive with leadership and Star Trek is his pride and joy. He is definitely the Star Trek Leading Guru. 5 out 5 for what a special should be. Definitely, recommend him to anyone who wants an interesting story, leadership, business management, wrestling, and Star Trek.
Leadership for life and trek.
I'm a relatively new listener to the Starfleet Leadership Academy and as I work through the back catalogue of episodes I find this quickly becoming one of my favourite podcasts. It is both fun and informative with many gems of wisdom that I am keen to apply to my daily life. Would recommend to anyone whether an aspiring leader or not.
A great Star Trek leadership mashup!
Jeff Atkin is taking one of the greatest sci-fi franchises of all time and making it applicable for today’s leaders. Love it!

Unexpected but welcome combo: Star Trek and Leadership
I’m not a Trekkie (if anyone asks, I mean… shhh), but I used to work in the corporate world. Now that I work mostly solo, you might think that I’d have no use for a corporate leadership podcast. However, after listening to a couple episodes I’ve found this show to be as helpful as it is entertaining. The host masterfully draws the principles out of the episodes. I generally find one solid principle per episode, and I’ve actually found a surprising context in which to apply them: my own household. Keep up the great work!

Unique and fun take on leadership
Jeff is so creative and fun. This podcast was such a find and so thankful I decided to stop and listen. Jeff's view and how he presents leadership is for everyone; and the bonus is learing about the Star Trek characters from a leadership perspective. Always hear something I can apply to my life when I listen!

Leadership in a fun and digestible way!!
Jeff does a great job teaching leadership examples through some sci-fi fun! The delivery of real life management and critical communication lessons through Star Trek episodes is a unique way to professionally and personally grow. Jeffs delivery makes me laugh and smile throughout every episode. I look forward to new episode releases and recommend this to anyone who would like some real food for thought while nostalgia flows full force.

Great topics!
I have been in federal management for years. I just finished an MBA thinking it would help me in my career. I think I have learned so much more about leadership through the podcast than I did with my MBA. The subject matter makes it thought provoking and relatable to me- as I love ST. Mr. Akin, thanks for this. I look forward to each new podcast.
