I have listened to almost every episode and I want to congratulate you so much on this brilliant podcast. There is not one episode that I do not learn some gem either through someone’s thoughtful in sight or personal story. Thank you so much. Heather
Highly recommend this podcast - Nigel is so skilled, he is not only smart, he actually listens to his subject, never talks over others, steeped in both compassion and humour. Interesting format of five “ items”. I’ve learnt a lot from the ones I’ve listened to, and have created a must- do list of books to read and movies to see.
Interesting content. Beautifully produced. Simple format. Utterly revealing.
I’ve just listened to my first episode of Nigel’s Five of My Life and my mind has gently expanded to view new perspectives. He respectfully ‘dances’ in conversation with his guest and welcomes and makes space for their answers without judgement. Such a wonderful set of questions that are engaging and spark curiosity. Keep doing what you’re doing Nigel as you’re clearly doing good in the world your way!
I’m just not home I don’t have a phone call if I’m done I’ll get home by phone I’ll call him back and then I’m done I’m just going back and
