Doug O’Brien and Tony go back a long way. Doug is the first coach Tony learned so much about coaching from. He went to a number of his workshops such as havening, bought quite a number of his products which were all just great. As Tony recalls Stories from the Outside Inn with Nick Kemp was the most fantastic workshop out of them all.

Fun fact, both Tony and Doug have been in punk bands. Doug however is an actual musician and as for Tony, he was there mostly to look pretty.
