Dominic is an actor, musician, director, dabbling writer - but first and foremost he is a person. A really lovely person!

Dominic came on the podcast armed with 28 episode suggestions, we randomly pick a number and allow the prompts to guide our chat. We talk about confidence, going on holiday, loving yourself and getting over yourself!

There's lots of amazing nuggets of advice and positivity in this episode and it's one of my favourites of all time.
