For this episode I was joined by Austin Kimm from Crypterium who gave us a fascinating insight into the world of Cryptocurrencies.
This is a market that is changing so quickly that even OKRs can't keep up with how agile they need to be. Austin and I discuss not only how to conquer this challenge, but also how to work in a highly distributed organisation with very contrasting cultural approaches to work.

This is a rather special episode for us, as we share the story of our Social Scholarship. We are joined by the five young students we sponsored to take part in an Outward Bound course back in July. Henry, Nikita, Georgia, Afshaan & Alisha come from a very low income area of Manchester (UK) and were selected to go on the adventure of a lifetime to learn the life skills necessary to thrive as they enter a crucial time in young adulthood. Take a listen and find out what it meant to them and please do get in touch if you’d like to know more.
