  • solo ep #23 - My 3 hiring rules.

    Join SPARK founder Danielle Lewis in a solo episode where she spills the champagne on her last decade in business.

    I don't know where this episode sits on the politically correct spectrum, but I'm sharing a few counterintuitive things I've learnt about hiring over the past decade. And while I still get it wrong, it's usually when I don't follow my gut that that happens.

          • solo ep #21 - What going on holidays has taught me about time.

            Join SPARK founder Danielle Lewis in a solo episode where she spills the champagne on her last decade in business.

            We overestimate what we can achieve in a day, and underestimate what we can achieve in a year. This podcast turned into more of a delusional rant as I recorded it the day before I was leaving for a 3 week break. Enjoy! Ha!
