We release 95% of our content for free and don’t run any ads during the show. That said, we’d love to expand our reach and get the knowledge shared by our speakers into the hands of more people so they can benefit too. So, if you’re in the mood for doing a random act of kindness today, and helping others improve their lives in the process, it would make a huge difference if you could take just 30 seconds and leave a short review on your favourite podcast provider - whether that’s iTunes (https://bit.ly/iTunes-podcast-review), Stitcher (https://bit.ly/stitcher-podcast-review) or Spotify (https://bit.ly/spotify-podcast-ratings). In addition, we’ll pick one review each month and that person will get a free ticket to our monthly online conference, which usually costs £50. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy the show!
