I first met Andy after I was due to speak after him at a bookseller's conference in Europe. Through the doors of the presentation room I could hear lots of laughter and when he'd finished, a huge round of applause. He was a tough act to follow! I've since watched Andy present many times. He uses his personality, humour and an infectious enthusiasm for teaching from his own experience to motivate and inspire his audience.
