Customer Reviews
#103 Trinny Woodall : wow
This was the first time I listened to this podcast show. First one off the ranks was episode #103 with Trinny Woodall, wow what an inspirational Woman. It was like a tennis match for my ears, Mark with his questions and Trinny answering them plus also asking Mark the question back.
I found it to be clear and honest with both parties being upfront with their answers and at times wore their hearts on their sleeves.
I have added Marks podcast to my schedual.
Cutting off your guest
Love the podcast, but mate let you’re guests answer the questions you ask and stop cutting them off halfway to replying to your question/comment
Trinny Woodall was great but Mark talks about himself incessantly
Listening to Trinny was inspiring but Mark kept talking about himself, which became annoying very quickly. We want to hear about the guest’s story, not Mark’s story.
