If you’ve ever looked at your career and thought, “I did everything right, so why do I feel so wrong?” this conversation is for you.

We sit down with Graham Skidmore, co-founder of Harmony Health, to unpack what happens when corporate success collides with wellbeing and why the system can feel fine until you step outside the lanes it was built for.

We talk about the moment Graham hit the C-suite in a 20,000-person organization and realized he was the most miserable he’d ever been. From there, we get practical with a definition of happiness he uses as a compass: leading a life of self-guided choices while loving yourself, others, and your surroundings. That leads to one of the simplest, most disruptive questions you can ask on a hard day: whose choices am I operating on right now?

Then we zoom out to leadership, resilience, and the future of work. We challenge one-size-fits-all systems that demand conformity and then blame individuals for struggling. We explore individualized support, neurodiversity, and why investing in humans as individuals can unlock overlooked talent. We also take a human-centric look at artificial intelligence: AI as a way to augment human intelligence, personalize learning, and free people to do the creative, empathic, problem-solving work machines can’t.

If you care about employee wellbeing, ethical AI, and building healthier workplaces that actually fit real people, you’ll get a lot from this one.

Graham Skidmore believes we can create a world of happy, healthy, productive and empowered people, by investing in people as individuals and their potential.
