This week, the tables have turned and I'm the one answering questions on Graham Allcott’s Beyond Busy podcast. 

I was chuffed to be a guest on this great show and to share a bit more about my life and experiences relating to speaking, performance, storytelling and my time in the corporate world. 

I talk about the time I was failing in my corporate job and the valuable life lesson I learned. How I manage my expectations around success for my comedy shows and plays.

The big mistake people make around selling a change, idea, products and services and what’s important for a great elevator pitch. 

Plus I’m sharing my views on authenticity, overcoming fear, storytelling, and much more.

Enjoy!
