Chris Mapp had an unexpected career change after sustaining a serious sporting injury.

What came next was an accelerated launch into the world of recruitment, resulting in the creation of a business that he now shares with his partner.

Building a business is difficult at the best of times but when you throw in a pandemic that effectively stops recruitment across 90% of the country you have to dig deep. A quick pivot across sectors was possible because of the previous goodwill generated through Chris' focus on the value he gives his clients.

Join me as I explore the events that took Chris into this world and the lessons he has learned about himself along the way.

Jordan Ross has mixed fitness and sport with corporate success for many years.

I think Jordan was born a winner. He disagrees and continues to apply hard work and consistent process to all he does.

Join me as I explore what drives Jordan and who have been key supporters along the way.
