As we come out of Lockdown 3.0, our kids are back at school and some normality is starting to be restored, I was keen to talk to Simone Schehtman who has been gravely concerned about the amount of sports provision and activeness our young children have been receiving over the last 12 months and what the impacts are ahead of Birmingham 2022’s commonwealth games.
Simone talks about the work she has done over the last few months to provide technical skills videos that will help our kids get back on track sports and training wise. A keen marathon runner who has sought to fill the “skills gap” in the sports arena discusses the implications of our children not having access to sports teams, clubs and regular physical activities.
We need our kids to feel motivated, inspired and engaged. With the commonwealth games next year, we forget that even though it is “Only a year”, the lack of social interaction and team play is going to have a massive effect on our children.

In this episode I am joined by the Directors of the Birmingham Enterprise Community, Dan Evans and Omran Al-Habbal as we talk accelerators, investment in tech startups and GymShark being the region's first "UNICORN".
We dive deep in to what they think the issues are within the start-up scene and why we don't have more scale-ups and ultimately more future unicorns. What is more interesting is how many blame lack of investment, but what are the real issues?!

In this episode I am joined by the incredible Pauline Roche from RnR!
From the green fields of Ireland and her inspiring father setting up a local community centre to give facilities to the local village people, to her journey to Birmingham in the 80's. Pauline talks to me about why Digital Inclusion is still not a thing and that we all take the internet for granted.
Pauline's heroics as a fighter for social justice and her passion to involve all in the Digital world left me in awe of her!
Give this a listen!

We all love a rant, and this week we talk about Data Privacy. A couple of weeks ago WhatsApp changed their Privacy policy. Whilst this hasn't affected users in the UK and Europe (YET), the uproar that this has caused has been prevalent in the world of data privacy.
JB Benjamin is an activist and tech entrepreneur who is doing everything he can do not only to change the messaging technology world, but also to educate his students as a University lecturer in Computer Science on these important topics.
SHOULD DATA PRIVACY EDUCATION BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS?!

We all love a rant, and this week we discuss digital poverty and the lack of access for thousands of young people in Birmingham.
I am joined by CEO of WOW Group and the man behind WOW Dot, Cas Majid. WOW Dot is a newly created CIC (community interest company) that has been set up to help donate laptops and internet connectivity to children in Birmingham. It is estimated that 5,000 children to not have access to either Laptops or the INTERNET and in some cases BOTH! Can you imagine not having the internet?!?! THINK ABOUT IT!
Cas talks to me about WHY, he gives back to the community and what he is doing to support young children in need, not just now, but for the next 12 months AND BEYOND.
DIGITAL POVERTY IS REAL!!!
THIS IS A MUST LISTEN TOO!

In this episode of the ReCX Podcast, I speak with Ria Blagburn from Vanti. Vanti is a business that has moved to educate and understand, following the Black Lives Matters movement and death of George Floyd, seeking to get their employees talking and listening to their peers.
Vanti didn't have a knee jerk moment as many other companies may have, back in May and June, and instead took time to really think about what they could do to make an impact.
Vanti has set their stall out and want AND ARE, making a change and are a great example to other businesses who may want to also join to make a change, but don't know how.
THIS EPISODE IS A MUST-LISTEN TOO.

A bit about Ria Blagburn :

In our first episode of "ReCX talks Diversity and uncomfortable discussions" I speak with the inspiring and level-headed Leon Barrett, Product Director of 383.
We dive into Leon's journey into tech and 383. How he used to take things apart and build them again and deciding to pursue a degree in Multimedia Technology instead of Law. We hear about his family's words of wisdom as a child and how he was the only black child in primary school but didn’t want his colour to be a barrier and focused on his ability.
This podcast left me feeling extremely emotional, from hearing Leon’s personal experiences dealing with racism, from falling over and cutting his knee at school to as recent as a bar during his Christmas party only last year! But more importantly, he has given me hope and I hope it gives you listeners out there some too!
This podcast series is the most important yet, and by sharing stories like Leon's, we hope to educate but also inspire.
Connect with Leon on LinkedIn and hear more about 383 by visiting their website!
