Customer Reviews
Inspiring, interesting and entertaining
I find these podcasts to be ideal listening when travelling/driving. Andy (the host) comes across as genuinely interested and knowledgable about each guest. The guest’s stories from childhood through their careers are both interesting and insightful. Even if you are not part of the automotive world, the content crosses over to other industries and career paths and there is often a nugget of inspiration within.
Listen and learn
These interviews are full of nuggets of learning based on years of the interviewee's experiences of what worked for them.
If you still have time to learn something (and we all have things we can learn) then this would be a source I recommend as one I wish I had had mid-career.
Insightful and entertaining
A really interesting idea and great to hear executives talk openly about their highs and what can be learned from their lows.
