  • Woody - The Finch Foundation

    This week I chat with Andrew Woodhead (Woody) about his book LIGHT and creating his own Foundation. Woody talks about his own mental health journey, one I think a lot of people will relate with. We talk about how an off the cuff remark from his psychologist led him to creating his book. Woody also works for Australian Mental Health Charity Batyr, giving a voice to the elephant in the room.

  • Terry Laybourne - The Restaurant Business
    This weeks episode I sat down with my old boss Terry Laybourne. A chef who brought the first Michelin star to the north east, received an MBE for his services to the hospitality industry and now has six restaurants in Newcastle upon Tyne. I ask Terry why he started his own business in the first place, how he was able to scale over the years and the different motivations behind each venture not to mention the challenges along the way.  We discuss the importance of self awareness for leadership along with how working abroad was key to his development. And of course we address the current pandemic and how the restaurant industry might fair over the coming weeks/months/years.

  • Mark Anderson - Career Paths for Millennials

    I talk with a best mate of mine Mark Anderson, reflecting on his career path. A geordie lad starting in scaffolding with the family business chose to look further afield getting a grad job in the corporate world of IT (where we met) before going into teaching, modelling, crime fighting and even a short stint on TV. He's got some funny stories on the way but we talk about how he's now gone full circle now fronting the family business.

  • Changing the way we look at Alcohol

    Jamie and Jack talk about their relationship with alcohol. How taking a step back from the way society looks at alcohol might change our perspective. But also you don’t have to have a ‘problem’ with alcohol to take a break from it.
