#130 Ruth Pearce, The Project Motivator ( Rerun)

This week we have a rerun of my conversation with Ruth Pearce, The Project Motivator. Support the Show British Podcast Awards On the 5th September ( my 25th wedding anniversary) the voting for British Podcast Awards will end and they have a peoples choice award, now I am under no delusions that I will win or get a notable mention, in fact in my opinion the Socially Distant Sports Bar should, and I have voted for them myself. However, there is a chance that it will help with the visibility of the show and potentially more listeners. I would be delighted if you could vote for the show and share on socials to get your colleagues and friends to vote. Pop along to ⁠www.nigelcreaser.com/britishpods2023⁠ to cast your votes.
