David Lancefield: Reflecting on 100 episodes of Lancefield on the Line

So here we are, 100 episodes of Lancefield on the Line.

To celebrate I am taking the opportunity to reflect on my journey as a podcast host, and sharing insights gained from interviewing a diverse range of brilliant guests. I discuss what I’ve learned it takes to be a good podcast guest and host, as well as key areas we have covered in strategy, leadership and self-development.

For the first time I also have questions fired back at me by some of my esteemed guests over the 100 episodes, where I offer further reflections on strategy, leadership and personal growth.

Thank you to everyone involved in the last 100 episodes, the guests, the audience, my friends, and collaborators.
