The hiring chain

In our most ambitious episode to date, we have not 1, not 2, or 3 but 4, yes FOUR guests on this episode. It all started with the viral campaign called 'The Hiring Chain' from Italian organisation CoorDown.

On the lead up to Christmas, just before Tier 4 became a reality, we caught up with life coach John Tench, who we lovingly know as Fish, aka the Shoreditch Coach to talk about the surreal movie we’ve all been living in for the past 8 months. How people have coped, and how we can help ourselves and others.
