Pierre du Plessis — Speaker and Author

In this episode I talk to author, speaker and self-proclaimed 'dissident preacher' Pierre du Plessis about his book Train Naked, his work as a speaker, facilitator and coach, and the power of belief.

Pierre recently launched a new project called Palaestra - a community of practice that encourages its members to train to become better human beings and do work that matters.
