Guy Osmond has been in business for nearly 50 years and active with social media, blogs and newsletters since they came into being. He is much later to the party with this podcast. It exists because he wanted a public platform where he could engage in lively discussions about important topics chosen by people with an enthusiastic commitment to, or interest in, the subject. The core themes are diversity, inclusion and wellbeing but expect the conversations to range widely over both work and domestic issues.
