Everything was completely out of my comfort zone.

Are you too comfortable? Do you push yourself into the unknown in order to grow?

My guest on Know Your Shift this week, Megi Cara, has certainly done that many times.

Moving from her hometown University, to living in a different country and changing sectors from travel, hospitality, Student Accommodation and then into Tech.

Megi and I get stuck into Yardi and she teases us with a sneak preview of an exciting development coming up for Yardi customers.

Megi’s give-it-a-go attitude is contagious and I’m sure all our listeners will catch it too.

‘The Chairman and I speak on the hour, every hour, even on Christmas Day!’

One word sums up my conversation with Richard, Enthusiam.

Richard’s enthusiasm for his family, Kexgill and its team, students, and David Bowie (!) are infectious, and every time I listen back, I laugh even more.

We got into his opinion on Student Accommodation (of course), why he ventured into investments in DNA labs, how his relationship with the Chairman has defined his recent working life and much more.

Richard also shared his family’s journey after his eldest son was born with Polands Syndrome and the effect it had on him.

Plus, he has a few words for Suella Braverman….
