They correspond with the guest main field of expertise and the topic of conversation. The host invites, what he calls, self-experimentals , people who are keen to ask questions about life, how to manage it, and what is more important, they find life-changing answers.  But who is Tom Bilyeu?

It is a misconception that small little towns, like Chorley, have nothing to offer for a tourist visit. There are treasures scattered around the country waiting to be discovered. We believe in it and we believed that  Chorley would reveal one for us as well.  Squeezed between M61 and M6, one of the little towns of the North-West , with populations of around 35,000, Chorley can be walked through the main street and its area pretty much in half an hour.  Up until the 1970s, the skyline here was dominated by many  factory chimneys,  now demolished.  There are some remnants of the industrial past but we could not spot a single one.

Maritime themes continue in the sideway vaults.  Going through the church's scenic garden, passing the Tower entrance to  Ma Boyle's  alehouse and eatery, now serving only takeaways, it was not hard to notice some serious construction work on  Water Street . The massive refurbishment of the historic India Buildings takes some time now, and certainly, it will look splendid in all its original glory. Passing the d
