Welcome to The Thinking Biker Podcast ! In each episode, Gareth will share his latest learnings, in personal and professional development, business development, project management and growing in work and life. Some episodes will be with special guests and some episodes, just with Gareth, but my promise is that they will always be designed to be Useful and Actionable, which are two elements of all that I try to do. I may even have one or two adventure biking stories too. It's a bit like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets Gareths world of professional development. If you can imagine that.
