At the height of a dotcom boom, Chris Dymond lived in a central London hotel suite, led a thriving digital consultancy, and worked on a £5 million-per-month financial services IT project. But he hated his life.

It took the closure of his business, rekindled love and a move to Sheffield for him to find happiness. And that's where we see him today.

In this episode of Traction: The Tech Growth Show, Chris Dymond – founder and director of Sheffield Digital, the association for Sheffield's digital industries – talks to Pete Hopton and James Taylor about computing, his entrepreneurial journey, innovation, lazy programming, public tech policy, living a beautiful life, and the potential impact of the AI bubble bursting.
