Brilliant smorgasbord ,

A real smorgasbord of helpful stories and experiences

When you review the titles of the interviews undertaken by Dave Barr and look at the amazing variety of guests from differing backgrounds - you just know you will be in for a treat, whoever you listen to - and so it turns out to be - what a great collection of interviews

This podcast collection is highly recommended

D Larson 2020 ,

This one has been invaluable

As I've recently come into a situation where I need to pay extreme attention to being efficient as possible with a large deal in progress, I looked for podcasts to help out whilst I'm travelling. This one has been invaluable and it's no surprise as it has some very high profile guests, authors of books I've read such as the Fulfillment Factor! Keep it up Dave.

Anthony D N ,

A truly awesome show

A truly awesome show with a host that seems to have a knack for even catching the guest off guard with how well researched he is! The skills talked about are extremely useful not just within transactions but in the entire world of entrepreneurship...NLP being a particularly prominent one for me. The audio quality is fantastic too.
