About This Podcast
‘Used to Be’s’ do indeed count! “I used to be…” refers to a past human state, role, condition, identity or experience. Understanding the importance of what or who someone ‘used to be’ can provide valuable insight into one’s life journey, reflecting on how our 'used to be' has had influence on who we are today.
Dean James talks to inspiring guests, revealing the most intriguing, inspiring and enthralling stories of a life's past experiences; successes, failures and lessons are reflected on as we celebrate change, transition, transformation and personal development.
We’re not dwelling on the past in a negative, stagnant way. We are giving it it’s proper time, power and reflection, so we can understand the impact it has had on who we are today!
