I'm Ty and welcome to Off Script. I've been pretty fortunate to have a phone book of people that have incredibly inspiring stories and are extremely knowledgable in their fields of expertise. These people have added a huge amount of value to my life and I wanted to share some of their stories with you in the hope that you can take something little away that will add value to your life. Expect honest, open and raw chats, we won't be holding back on letting them express themselves, and we'll be challenging them where we feel fit to do so. Thanks for tuning in, I hope you enjoy the show. https://www.tytemel.com/
