The Recruitment Doctor Podcast Daniel Rodrigues

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?!
