I have had the opportunity to hear Josh teach in the past and when I heard he was beginning a podcast, I couldn't have been more excited! This podcast is different in that it's not interviewing other business people, or about what you should do to grow your business. It is about growing yourself as a person.

WOW! Josh's enthusiasm is infectious! Just listened to episode 1 and keen to hear more! Definitely worth a listen!
