  • Brilliant interviewer

    I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Brendan. He is one of the best interviewers I have ever come across. He really asked some fantastic questions to get the best out of the interview. I went on to listen to his other podcasts and again they are fantastic. He really makes you feel at ease so that you come from your heart space and deliver with passion and purpose which is what he and his team are all about. Great guy, great show.
