I’ve compiled the answers to the one question I’ve asked my guests…

‘How do you define your own success?’

I’m fascinated by their answers. The answer to that question can bring out our own set of values and beliefs, the belief systems we as event professionals pick up from our colleagues and teams we’ve worked with, as well as the societal beliefs we pick up from the culture we’re brought up in and live.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

On this episode I’m joined by Kyriakos Gold & Sophia Fatouros from Just Gold Digital Agency

Connected by culture and involved with a number of communities, they’re passionate advocates for multiculturalism, diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities.

They decided to become the change they wanted to see, determined to turn the industry on its head.

Their migrant background was not the only thing they had in common and you’ll find what that is in this episode.
