In this podcast, we had the pleasure of chatting with Mo T, better known as the Airport Guy! 🛫

This is not your typical behind-the-scenes airport content, but in this episode, we take you behind the scenes of Mo T.

Mo gives us a deeper insight into his journey. Starting his career at one of the biggest airports in London’s airport system, to creating content on social media, and becoming mission & purpose focussed. He has prioritised making an impact through his dream role and beyond. This conversation uncovers vulnerability, resilience, passion and the benefits of personal development. Even more so, Mo reminds us of what is truly important and valuable in life. Discovering one's dreams at Heathrow Airport- who knew!

Inspired by the 'Diary of a CEO', and their new conversation cards, we decided to try out one of the questions posed by a previous guest of Steven Bartlett. Want to know which question left Mo in deep thought? Listen to the end😉

Again, thank you, Mo T, for such an inspiring discussion!

In this next episode of Connecting Conversations, we were delighted to converse with Jennie. Through her expertise, knowledge and reflection on her lived experience; we sought to understand the terminology of ‘disability’ and its use in today’s society. We also used this space to discuss how perceptions around disability have evolved within the workforce and in education spaces.

At a time when conversations around diversity and inclusion have become heightened, this discussion around disability allows us to reflect and take stock of what more can be done. Ensuring all people living with a disability are not being disabled by society.

We hope this conversation has challenged your thoughts and perceptions to continue to change the narrative.
