Host Alicia Sutton and guest Joby Ingram-Dodd for some insane reason decide to tackle the easy enough question - what is the purpose of life?
Joby Ingram-Dodd's list of careers by his 40's is rather remarkable. He's been a Commonwealth Games cyclist for Wales, a stock broker in London, an actor, a Chief Technology Officer and an Entrepreneur. Joby's ambition is paired with an affable nature.
If you're wondering:
- Should I be trying harder to follow my dreams, or trying less?
- Are my desires selfish?
- Have I missed my window?
Come join us for this excavation on how we're finding our purpose, so you can find yours too!
After an hour with Joby, you'll walk away being a whole lot kinder to yourself - I know I did!
