Following some gremlins with the intended broadcast date on Friday October 28th, this is now the correct version of a very interesting discussion with Emma Hallett with an emphasis on adapted cars.

Phil Cowley is the owner of Cowley's Driving School based in Newton Abbot. Listen to how Phil became an ADI and how he has developed his driving school and keeps everyone happy! One thing he is aiming to do is have some salaried franchisees so I was interested to probe into this a bit more. Also find out what Phil's suggestion is for improving things at the DVSA!

September 16, 2022 Ella Burnett - Instructor, trainer, home business owner, social media guru, mother, wife - Superwoman?!
Listen to Ella describing how she became a driving instructor. I describe her in this episode as a bit of a trailblazer - she was the first person I can remember to admit in the EXE ADIs Facebook group that she had failed her Standards Check. She posted because she wanted to get better. Ella also started her own home business during lockdown in 2020 - and she also finds time to be a fab wife and mother! Oh yes and she also appears with great regularity on social media so she's become quite an expert there too! El is one of the instructors I know better than many and this episode did over-run the sort of time limit I had set myself for these podcasts - but what Ella has to say is too interesting for me to edit any out. Oh yes - and you will love her description of hot yoga!

July 25, 2022 The ExeL Podcast - what is it?
This podcast is primarily aimed at driving instructors in the Exeter and Newton Abbot areas. It will consist of fortnightly interviews with member of the group to find out more about them, not just their work with learners and PDIs but also what interests they have outside of work. Hopefully some of this will be of interest to other members of the group. Episodes will last around 20-30 minutes and will be available on Spotify, Google, Apple and other podcast apps. There is also a Facebook page and web site where you will be able to access each episode.
