Today we’re talking to Nick an inspiring customer I met last year
Nick is an airline pilot and always had the end goal in mind; it wasn’t an easy path and he’ll be sharing his story from working as a Tesco delivery driver to finally becoming an airline pilot.
Today’s podcast may not be about the motor trade but I thought it was such an inspiring story we could all use some of Nicks habits and outlook on life regarding living below your current means to increase your future means.
Hope you enjoy the conversation!
