  • Insightful and Inspiring

    There are many reasons this podcast has made its way to my top 5 favourites - the mix of credible guests, the inspiring and practical insights as well as Brendan’s total authenticity (the fact he’s local is just a bonus) As a start up business owner, it has been an invaluable resource in helping me align who I am with what I do - in essence keeping first things first.

  • 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.
