ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Unlike a webinar or traditional industry podcast, we'll be pulling together leading figures in their fields to discuss, dissect and debate key issues for driver and rider trainers. Known as a Motormouth myself and not afraid of a bit of ruck, we'll be asking challenging questions and discussing challenging views with people who like to challenge the status quo. We'll either have you shouting at your screen or cheering us on! I'll be joined by established and well-known figures or organisations in or impacting our world - but also those new on the scene, so we get a good mix of experienced insights and fresh viewpoints.
