  • Business and finance through real life experiences, no theory in this podcast 5*

    An absolute gem in the podcast realm. Its thought-provoking content on various topics is delivered by engaging guests who have a wealth of knowledge interesting and unique life experiences. Nick does the very simple but difficult thing to achieve in just letting his guess tell there story without adding his bit to everything they say. In my opinion, some other podcast are hosted by people who’s main purpose is to make themselves look good and it can spoil it by steering the conversation in diffe... more

  • Learned so much!

    What a fascinating collection of conversations. Edwin's episode was a total joy to listen to & I learned a alot about the private aviation industry. Nicks' thoughtful questions make it feel like you're evesdropping on a delightful chat between two friends. Highly recommended. I also enjoyed Nick's insightful interview with Swen Lorenz about the Sark Property Company. Can't wait to tune in for more!

A Different Perspective with author Val Hamilton - Pirates, Punters, and Politicians: How the Bank of England Was Founded
Q: Your greatest inspiration or mentor?
Val cites her father as a guiding influence, highlighting resilience and resourcefulness as personal traits that shaped her career.
A Different Perspective with Organisational Psychologist, Christen Gilchrist
Q: What's a common pitfall you see in attempting to improve organisations, especially in NHS or large institutions?
Over-relying on one-off training (like resilience programs) without fixing the underlying system that creates stress or inefficiency; unless the system itself is aligned to reward the desired behaviours, such training will not produce lasting change.
A Different Perspective with Organisational Psychologist, Christen Gilchrist
Q: How do you win new business in this field?
Networking and word of mouth are the primary drivers; face-to-face conversations and building trust are crucial, even in an increasingly AI-enabled world where concise, human-centric communication stands out.
A Different Perspective with Organisational Psychologist, Christen Gilchrist
Q: Can you give an example of how you approach restructuring with two merging teams or companies?
I start with a needs analysis to map what the system is set up to produce, then look for where time and energy are wasted, align incentives with desired outcomes, and use diagnostics like sludge audits to quantify the cost and cognitive load of current processes; the aim is to make the invisible visible and design a more coherent, integrated system.
