Jared Tully 
"@nigelpoulton initially I was very skeptical about your audio book "The Kubernetes Book" on audible and whether it would be worth my while! What a pleasant surprise! It should be a case study on how to make a technical book work really work well as an audio book.
I appreciate the thought you have given this. I was driving as I listened and I could actually "see" the concepts in my mind... well done."
Duan Gauche 
"When I was looking to make a job change, it became apparent that a huge missing part of my knowledge base was the lack of cloud native experience. Thankfully, I was able to level up quickly using Nigel’s amazing Docker and Kubernetes courses and books... Keep up the amazing work!"
