This week, I’m joined with Kush Rajde, a tech lover in the field of sales and marketing. In this episode we speak about working in sales, living and working in Mumbai and how to keep productive in a digital age.

I had a very interesting conversation with Kush, learning more about his life working in India as well as his views on how to remain productive and healthy despite the proliferation of gadgets around us

This week I’m joined by Alam Supani, who is a Technology Sales Professional based out of the Middle East and originally from the UK.

We speak about living and working in Dubai, how it’s been moving away from the UK, as well as what drew Alam into Sales. We also speak about youth development and community work.

I really enjoyed the perspective to learn more about life in Dubai as well as the decisions people take to move across to a different country.

This week I’m joined by Redwan Ahmed, a case administrator at the National Probation Service.  We talk about the role he plays within his work, as well as the things he does outside of his job, including running Careers Pal.

I enjoyed learning more about Redwan’s job as well as his intrinsic motivation to do more by supporting university students into employment.

This week, I speak with Rituja Rao, an award winning delivery manager and emerging thought leader in UK Industry. Rituja is a senior enterprise project manager at Deliveroo.

We speak about Rituja’s journey into tech, as well as tech careers more widely. We speak about the difference in project manager roles and the future of work.

I enjoyed learning more about Rituja’s career path and the interesting views she had about how the world of work will change

This week I’m speaking with Andrew Weeks, a technical product manager. We talk about what a product manager does within an organisation, as well as discuss features around building a good corporate culture. We also explore the different ways in which organisations can build career paths.

I really enjoyed speaking with Andrew to better understand the mentality of tech firms around Agile practices, as well as discussing how corporate culture can be positive harnessed.

This week I speak with Constantin Muraru, who is a Senior Policy Advisor at the International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed.

We speak about the fascinating world of insects, how they can play a role in our dietary habits in Europe, and what he does as a policy advisor in what is a young sector. We also talk about the role it can play in wider sustainability and the environment.

I've only recently been introduced to the concept of insects as nutrition and learnt a lot from hearing it from the perspective of Constantin. There are lots of practical considerations, however there is also a real opportunity for a healthier, more environmentally friendly food and livestock.
