Today marks a very proud milestone – the 500th episode of The Exceptional Sales Leader Podcast. It seems a long way from episode #1 in April 2020, and if I was brutally honest, I had no ambitions of getting much further than 100 episodes. In fact, I thought that if I could convert around 85 articles I had written into podcasts I would be doing extremely well. And yet, here we are at episode 500. This is a story of belief, patience and persistence, and today, I am feeling overwhelmingly grateful to have the podcast downloaded in over 70 countries.
