In this episode we chat with leader, innovator and entrepreneur James Scroggs.
We hear both James' own odyssey through the world of work - from Marketing Director at MTV, to re-establishing workwear brand M.C. Overalls, and music entrepreneur - through to his drive now to empower people towards fulfilling careers, as creator of education venture New Working Class.
Now also the Chair of CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), Chairman of One Question, and lifelong Prince fan, James is one of the UK's cultural leaders, and this is an episode not to be missed.
We talk about:
- The influence of Prince on his life
- The series of strong women that have defined his career
- Why nobody talks about philosophy any more
- The 'stigma' around mental health 20 years ago and how that is different today
- His work with CALM and what it means to 'Not Live Miserably'
- Why everybody should take a 'point of view', the lens through which they decode the world
- How the world of work is broken, and his vision with New Working Class
- How we all simply need to take a little time every day to reflect
