I recently spoke with Andrea, the first time I have ever spoken about the work I do and the people I encounter. Andrea is a sensitive intuitive interviewer and lead our conversation in a direction that has given me food for thought. His series is well worth investing in and you will come away with answer but more importantly, you will have questions. Thanks a million Andrea. Cheers !
