While on a recent speaking tour for a period of 14 days that took in 14 cities and 18 speaking engagements I caught up with David Iliffe of ABC Radio via phone hook-up whilst sitting in my vehicle somewhere between where I’d been and where I was going. I love the interview process because you [...]
It’s been ten years since I first came up with the name Motivational Memo and bought the domain name.
