A Practical Dive Into The Reality of Success

Every episode is a practical and well constructed dive into the issues that people who have pushed to become successful face. Sometimes when looking from the outside at successful people, we tend to neglect the fact that they just like us are human and face a lot of challenges and problems when building, this Podcast examines those problems very well and gives practical advice on how to overcome challenges. Drew and Luke do a great job of stimulating the discussion with the guests and bringing the truths to light. Excellent listen and looking forward to more.

These are stories that need to be told to lift us up, give us hope so we can all do the same. Thanks Luke and Drew for bringing us this podcast, More Than A Name !
