Documenting my journey, or as I so poetically refer to as the ‘trail’, through conversations with people I find genuinely fascinating. Yes, I was making fun of myself with the whole poetically thing. Anyway, be warned, lots of average chat about Golf, SaaS/Tech, Recruitment, Personal Development, Business, Travel and Adventure. I have 1 rule: I only speak with people I have a genuine interest in. I love unearthing people's growth journeys and hope you will too. Oh and free Golf will be given…
