I love hearing each entrepreneurs story - and the challenges and joys each one has to share - very inspiring and Jo has a very elegant way of interviewing that brings out the genuine stories and journey of being an entrepreneur in today’s climate.
Thank you for your podcast with Joanna, I am now totally obsessed with her story and I’m heading straight out to buy her book! Thank you Jo!
The way Jo talks - calm and quietly confident yet with an energising spark of positivity - is great to listen to. Her considered choice of intelligent, gutsy guests and her relaxed yet expert interview technique makes for an engaging, interesting and educational listen. This podcast is spot-on and top of my list!
There’s a natural ease to Jo’s interview technique which comes with her knowing this stage of life. It’s energetic, not too ‘mantra-like’ , amusing and informative.
SO good, emotive, inspirational, empowering, heartfelt, uplifting …. Just everything! A great listen!
