  • One of my weekly listens

    I’ve been a big fan of John for over 30 years now, and this is one my favourite things he’s ever done. I always get a take away from these pods, and look to implement them in to my work and personal life. Season 2 carries on perfectly from season 1, and I’m looking forward to listening to more.

  • A podcast for everyone!

    No episode is the same which is what I love about Jobsworth, you hear from a range of people with different journeys and all different industries.

    Regardless of the speaker, I’ve always walked about with either something learnt, resources or a giggle to start the day.
