Love listening to these podcasts, so great to tune into such a mix of inspirational guests.
You just have to stop in your tracks and rejoice in Samantha breath of fresh air approach at interviewing . So often the interviewer is so self obsessed and (though in many cases entertaining ) the interviewee often becomes secondary .
Samantha let’s her guests speak but makes it a conversation you almost wish you were part of
She also brings such honesty to light on topics that often are glossed over
Sam is well worth listening too
All the audio plays, and the latest series of “Dare to be Different” interviews, are funny, moving and highly recommended. The multi-talented Samantha Grierson writes and directs her plays, and in the interviews she talks to an amazing range of guests.
See the world from a different perspective and learn about changing the game!
