Annoyingly right!!!

A great podcast full of fantastic nuggets of information you can implement straight away….and not only that it’s fun to listen to. As well as being annoyingly optimistic, Paul is also annoyingly right!!!! I recommend giving it a listen. You won’t regret it!

Never has a title of a podcast series been so accurate!

So so very annoyingly positive, jam packed with pearls of wisdom delivered with sooooo much bounce. A totally refreshing approach to business coaching. Hate to admit I love it! 🫣

You just know the dude is smiling as he’s recording these… easy to understand bite-sized morsels of useful business tips and advice poured into our ears. Excellent, thank you Paul for your cheery insight.
