Change is difficult, but if you want any degree of success, you can't keep doing the same thing over and over again.  At some point, you have to take a risk and do something different.

That is the core message of our guest this week, Ray Richards, CEO of the Brighton-based tech company Do Something Different.  We talk about what you can do to build your own behavioural flexibility, how you can deal with the unknown and bring the people who matter on the journey with you.

Whatever flavour of Maverick you are, whether change maker, leader or entrepreneur, sooner or later you are going to have to sell people on your ideas and bring them on a journey with you.

And this is what marketeer Wes Kao is a master of.  She understands that selling isn’t a dirty word, but rather about deep empathy, walking a mile in another person’s shoes and really helping the other person to feel seen and heard.

Listen in to find out how she influences some of the greatest minds on the planet.

We believe that Mavericks can change the world and that the world needs more Mavericks...and that is exactly what this week's podcast guests are doing.  Rich Bloomand Ross Taylor are first-degree Mavericks.  Having worked in the recruitment industry for years and running their own very successful recruitment company, they felt the need to shake things up and disrupt their industry.

And this advice applies not only to employees but how to treat all the people in our lives. Listen in to improve how people engage at work and through all areas of your life.

Let’s face it, one of the biggest barriers to living life on your terms is a lack of time and having too many things to do.  If we could just get ourselves a bit more organised or productive, things would be better, right?
