Listen Later

This week we had the honour of having my Dad Jon Lennon on the poddy. Jon is the professional voice behind our podcasts intro, segments and outro. We sat down with him to unpack the best stories from his life to date. In his own words, 'I'm just an ordinary person, who's done extraordinary things'. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did, cheers guys x
