I'm talking to a chartered accountant, today. However, this episode is quite different to the others. My guest will remain anonymous owing to remote working having become a contentious issue at their workplace.My priority is to maintain the anonymity of my guest, so you'll see me chatting with an AI avatar who will relay the valuable ideas expressed during this episode that I really didn't want you to miss out on.I'm not sponsored by  @heygen_official  maybe I should be!!! I was really impressed by the capabilities of their text video function. What do you think?
