What is more important? Being a Go Getter or being a Go Giver? We are going to chat to successful people who have also given back to society in some way...I hope! I want to know what they have done for others. Have they given money? or gone a little further and given their time, or challenged themselves in some way to help others. My guests will be successful in business, sport or in some creative way but I want to know how they have given back.I will also expect them to put something in my Goody Bag which I will raffle or auction off for the Pied Piper Appeal, a children's charity in Gloucestershire.I wonder what I will gather in my Goody Bag!

He has a genuine interest in how things sound and especially the microphones used to get that sound and has been responsible for recording and doing the live sound for Pam Ayres and Clive James at their theatre shows.I have played in bands with Martin and worked with him on song demos for years. It is always lots of fun when he is around. People used to write songs and send them to him to record. He would send them to me to learn and record, maybe add a sax or flute solo and send it back to them.

    What is more important? Being a Go Getter or being a Go Giver? We are going to chat to successful people who have also given back to society in some way...I hope! I want to know what they have done for others. Have they given money? or gone a little further and given their time, or challenged themselves in some way to help others. My guests will be successful in business, sport or in some creative way but I want to know how they have given back. I will also expect them to put something in my Goody Bag which I will raffle or auction for the Pied Piper Appeal, a children's charity in Gloucestershire.I wonder what I will gather in my Goody Bag! website: https://juliekentmbe.comfacebook: https://www.facebook.com/julie.kent.758/instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliekentmbe/twitter:  https://twitter.com/juliekentmbeGoody Bag Charity: Pied Piper Appeal https://www.piedpiperappeal.co.uk
