Conversations with extraordinary ordinary people about what they do, how they do and why they do. We spend so much time working and doing things, without even thinking about it. We talk about how, why or when they do what they do, what makes them the right person, and how doing what they do affects their lives. In weekly conversations, hopefully, we demystify work and career options for you, that you can connect to and feel seen.
