Before you think I'm being rude to my boss, I'm self-employed, so the idiot maybe me.  The title of this episode actually came from a conversation with a friend who, frustrated by their boss and their attitude wondered how they ever got to hold the position in the first place.

The clarity we sometimes have that if our boss were more approachable, kinder, less of an idiot, that our life might be a whole lot better and we might be even better at our job.  I'll accept that I might be being a little nieve.

One man I thought might give my sense of justice a good workout is my guest on this episode.
