The "DID" Podcast: Recent Episodes
Mick Knowles
The "DID" Podcast (Driving Instructor Development) is designed to help the Driving Instructor Community develop their business skills, instructor skills, Mental Health and much much more.
The DID Podcast is sponsored by Total Drive, the number 1 software and App for Driving Schools, instructors and their pupils.
Our latest guest on The KIT Podcast is David Gallagher, from Young Driver Ambasador.
David has a great backstory to tell, which includes Paddy Hopkirk and Nigel Mansell.
At the tender age of 22 David took his first Advanced Driving Course and his career in driving took off from there.
We talk about his role as a Young driver Ambasador and how he helps young drivers achieve their goals.
We also talk about the pit manouvre or as I call it a love tap!
David will hopefully in the near future be writing for KIT MAG as well, and it will be great to for us as ADIs to learn from him!

Alison Harper, my Social Media Manager was put under the microscope in this episode to help spread the word of TikTok.
Most of you will think that TT is for teenagers dancing and singing, like I did a year ago. But it is not, it can and is used by many small to medium sized businesses to expand their brand, just like yours and mine!
Since recording this episode, we, Xpert Driver Training have gone viral on TT, with one of our videos. This is all down to the expertise of Mick and his camera and a little help from Alison, with her music, captions and hashtags!
Alison has produced an ebook on TT, which you can purchase below
