  • S03E11 - Ever in the Country?

    We're back with another catch-up-sode after both hosts have been galavanting around the world. Raffy gives us the highlights of Seoul, NYC & Paris while Chandra is his usual shady self and refuses to tell us where he is... Who knows why?


    In this episode, we discuss (in no particular order)...

    • how to cook jellyfish?!
    • picnics in Europe
    • "good" business class
    • and much more!

        • S03E10 - A stormy catch-up

          Most of our episodes are now bounced into space and back via Starlink, but THIS episode is the same but during a storm at sea! Welcome to the Stormy seas catch-up-sode!

          Apologies in advance for the audio quality - there’s only so much massaging of the audio file you can do with patchy internet and gale-force winds!

          In this episode, we have a new listener message and therefore, a brand new growing up brown story (and a whole lot more side tangents, of course!)

          • S03E09 - Rise of the Influencer

            Influencers. Back in our day, the word didn't even exist and now it's a career aspiration!


            In this episode, Raffy & Chandra act like their geriatric, Millennial selves and wave their arms while discussing this new-fandangle phenomenon. Have they always existed? Are they glorified sales folk? The nerdy super fans? Or something totally different?

                                                It's time for another interview-sode and this time, we have the co-founder of BluePrint Medical, Alex Ellis!
                                                Alex has one of the most colourful & entertaining sequence of jobs leading up to founding his own company that deals in medical recruitment. It's a far cry from being a Special Constable with the British Police, which was his first job.
                                                In this interview, we cover his journey including:
                                                • his first day as a police officer & being thrown in the deep end
                                                • how watching his father build a company shaped his views on entrepreneurship
                                                • why focussing on quality vs quantity is his core philosophy
                                                • And so much more!

                                              • S03E03 - Burnout, schmurnout!

                                                Well, well, randInt doing something topical? That's new!


                                                This episode came about because both Chandra and Raffy realised that the pandemic/work/life and lack of breaks were indeed taking a toll on things. What surprised them both was just how far they were both along on the scale of burn out!


                                                In this episode, we get a bit serious and cover...

                                                • what IS burnout?
                                                • what are the early signs?
                                                • what can you do about it?


                                                  • While the hosts are both doctors, they're not here to dispense specific medical advice (c'mon it's a podcast on the internet!) so see your doctor/professional if you have a clinical concern.
