    I can't say enough positive things about my experience as a guest on Behind the Armor with Judd Shaw's podcast. I do a lot of podcasts and this has to be one of my all time favorites. The conversation flowed naturally right from the start. There were no stilted questions, and I was able to go deeper on topics I rarely get to talk about because of Judd's kind encouragement, and great listening. Inquisitive, kind, warm and genuinely fun, I cannot recommend highly enough the experience to others considering being a guest. Do yourself a favor and spend some time with Judd! You will not regret it.

    Judd was the best podcast host I've ever experienced. I've been on 30+ shows at this point and Judd came prepared and knowing my story inside and out. At the same time, I could feel how present he was in the conversation and how engaged he was with the interview. I appreciated his energy, presence, and preparedness and I can't recommend joining his show enough!

    I have done a lot of podcasts over the years, with many incredible hosts, but Judd Shaw is truly exceptional. Judd’s passion for his work and his guests is evident. He cares deeply about people, and it shows in his empathetic and compassionate questioning. His unique questions make you pause and reflect, which I genuinely appreciate as a guest. After being asked the same questions regularly, it's refreshing to encounter well-thought-out and different questions. One thing Judd is particularly exceptional at is encouraging you to dig deeper in your responses. He fosters vulnerability in a way that makes you feel safe and comfortable.

    Being a guest on Behind the Armor with Judd Shaw felt like catching up with an old friend who knows just how to ask the questions that matter. From the moment we started, I felt completely at ease—like I could let my guard down and be 100% myself. It’s rare to find a space where the conversation feels so natural yet dives so deep into topics that truly resonate. Judd has a gift—not just for asking great questions but for really listening. You can tell there’s genuine curiosity and care in every moment. It’s not just about getting to the next topic or sticking to a script; it’s about creating a meaningful dialogue that goes beyond surface-level chatter. What stood out most was the way the conversation flowed. It wasn’t an interview—it was an experience. We laughed, shared stories, and explored ideas that felt both personal and universal. The warmth and authenticity made me forget we were even recording at times. This podcast isn’t just a platform; it’s a safe space to be vulnerable, reflect, and connect. It reminded me why I do what I do and gave me a renewed sense of purpose in sharing my story. I walked away feeling seen, inspired, and so grateful for the opportunity to connect with such a thoughtful, kind, and downright amazing host. Thanks Judd!

    Behind the Armor:
    Judd Shaw

    Hey, there. I’m Judd Shaw—a lifelong adventurer, storyteller, and emotional intelligence speaker. Growing up, I grappled with feelings of inadequacy, tirelessly driving me to prove my worth in every aspect of my life. As a successful attorney, I reached the top of my field, but success came at a cost. Pursuing perfection left me emotionally drained and disconnected from my true self. It took a global pandemic and the breakdown of my marriage to shake me awake.

    Amid the chaos, I embarked on a profound journey inward, delving into mental health, trauma, and the power of authentic human connection. Through therapy and inner work, I learned to regulate my emotions and cultivate a deep sense of self-love. I’m on a mission to share my story and inspire others to embrace their authenticity.
