  • One of my ‘go to’ podcasts

    This is one of my ‘go to’ pods when I am seeking education, enlightenment and new angles with regards to performance psychology. Dan had me on the show over a year ago and he was insightful and challenging - he clearly has expertise and his own points of view but also dives into hearty discussion with an open mind. I enjoy having two experts discussing topics rather than an interviewer and interviewee.
