  • Fascinating and informative

    I enjoy the variety within this podcast. Of course, with Bob’s background there is a running thread of Defence themes in many of the episodes, but mixed well with leadership stories and advice from all sectors. The guests are all of an excellent calibre, and the content is mixed well amongst the Life Stories and leadership themes. A professional, informative and enjoyable podcast.

    Really enjoyed this series so far, from the inspirational Gen Patreous to hearing Bob’s own background as a FL combat pilot. Some genuinely actionable insights and the delivery strikes the right balance between posing meaningful questions and giving latitude to the guests to tell their story, their way. Kudos!
