Today, I'm having a GAS with Jon Corner, the CEO of The Landing; a tech startup hub in MediaCityUK, Salford.

Jon made his start in the music industry as a producer in London, but became intrigued by the potential of the digital technology that was emergent in music in the 1980s, and began down a path that led him to become the Chief Digital Officer of Salford.

Today, I'm having a gas with Paul Burke, a veteran creative who's seen it and done it all in adland. Paul is genuinely the most authentic character that I've spoken to for this series and he radiates charm and straightforward common sense.

He's worked for top brands like Barclaycard, Heinz, Birdseye, Harvey Nichols, Boots, British Gas...the list goes on.

Over the years, he developed a particular love for radio advertising due to the necessity of good writing to get the idea across.

He's also had four novels published. One of them, Father Frank, is being turned into a film.
