Description
The Burning Desire Show is a weekly podcast where we get inspirational guests on to interview them about whatever it is that they are passionate about. This platform is crucial to share the message that there is so much to gain from learning from people all around us.
We focus on a wide range of topics, nothing is off limits or out of our scope - so long as there is a story to inspire others. Be it business success, academic achievements, sporting triumphs, weight loss, the mastery of a new skill or overcoming life's many hurdles (to name but a few).

What a way to close 2023.
This is the most high profile interview I have conducted thus far.
Andy is simply a legend in the world of celebrity portraiture, it's easier to say who he hasn't yet photographed than the 7,000+ celebrities that he has over his illustrious 34 year career to date.
The likes of Michael Caine, Elton John, Kate Moss, Robbie Williams, Idris Elba, Brad Pitt, Simon Cowell, Pelé, Ricky Gervais, Harrison Ford and Robin Williams have been and continue to be his subjects.
His story is absolutely fascinating and yet painfully simple: he had a dream and he achieved it through sheer determination, hunting down opportunities and never giving up.
If this interview doesn't leave you inspired, little will!
