Today's episode is with Richard Bennett, a consultant, coach, and international traveler. Richard began his career at Marks and Spencer in the 1980s and followed an internal path to development within the company. He then, prompted by his then manager and his wife, decided to spread his wings and try some new experiences. He hit a few roadblocks along the way, and he talks about how he overcame those challenges while staying true to his core passions as he built his career. 

Richard's story is a prime example of how your early experiences, and the chances you take at the beginning of your career, can help to shape your whole work life. You never quite know where life will take you, but staying true to what you love makes for an exciting and fulfilling journey.
