Be Worth Following is a refreshing podcast that delicately balances inspiration with real-world advice. The way it tackles personal development without going overboard on enthusiasm makes it feel genuine and easy to connect with. Deirdre
Relatable & Applicable
We can sit around and read “airport leadership” books all day and get all kinds of principles, and maybe there’s nothing wrong with that, but what I like about this podcast is that it’s real people, with real stories. Tim asks great questions and I feel as if we are all sitting at some cafe table just chatting about how leadership actually works. Can’t wait for more. Well done.
