Re-Visit with Kristian Smith of K-spray Coatings Ltd
Wow back again. this will be the last episode for now as I'm taking an indefinite break. But what an episode to break on. This has got to be one of my favorites if not "the" best one for me! Kristian reached out to re-visit and why not? if you follow the man he's had such a transformation since our first podcast back in July 2020.
This was enjoyable because as much as i live and die for decorating we just sat down and winged it. Chatting openly about anything and everything, but mainly addictions, mental health, and the similar journeys we are both on for self-development.
So you know the score by now! for the last time stick on your headphones, grab a brew and put your feet up as Bobcast is coming in your ears. And as always both myself and Kristian would appreciate your feedback. Give us a shout and tag us on socials.
If you are looking to expand your mind or just self develop then these books may be of use as they have been for us
