Great conversation

Just listened to the episode with the wonderful Michael McQueen. So good to hear a podcast which sounds like a ‘real’ chat. That’s such an art to make the podcast conversation ‘conversational’ and real and relaxed and entertaining and informative. Few do it so well. Highly recommended especially for current and budding professional speakers.
Seriously - excellent episode and a great podcast overall, having heard several of Andrew May’s podcast episodes in recent times.

Ted V76 ,

Insightful and inspiring

Andrew always provides practical takeaways for his audience, connecting the dots between his guests and his listeners lives.

Brett Penprase ,

Best in class High Performance coaching podcast

Just when you think Andrew has hit the pinnacle of producing a podcast, the man just keeps delivering taking his experience from the track to well being and business and how one can optimise both.
He is a highly connected individual and this podcast episode by episode is well worth listening to. You won’t be disappointed.
