For Fathers Day this year, 2022 I decided to have my Dad as my guest on The Interested Man Podcast. He has a big heart, is an avid reader, he’s been married for 53 years (to my Mum), his entrepreneurial spirit started as a child fishing golf balls out of the river and selling them back to the golfers, animals bow down to his tough love and he is the opposite of a social butterfly. He loves solitaire on the computer, cars, good wine, food packed with flavour, Aldi special buys and doesn’t think an instruction manual is useful, I’m pleased to say I really enjoyed having a conversation with my Dad and hearing abut his entrepreneurial journey.
