In this week's episode, hosts James Lawther and Jimmy Barber discuss strategies for dealing with difficult people at work. We all know them – those you dread interacting with – maybe they don't listen, or they snipe from the sidelines. Perhaps they ignore you, or nothing ever sticks to them when things go wrong.

Regardless of who they are, James and Jimmy discuss how to deal with them effectively – both in the moment and over the long term, if their behaviour is systemic.

James and Jimmy also challenge their own behaviour and yours, so that you do not become someone else's 'difficult person'

If that isn’t enough, they also discuss the perils of children flying the nest and how the adage 'it's the hope that kills you' is apt if you're a football fan!

Season 3 - we're back with a muddle of James's!

To kick the season off, hosts James Lawther and Jimmy Barber explore how we can all use artificial intelligence at work with special guest James Crawford. Unless you're living under a rock, you'll be aware of the promise of AI revolutionising the workplace. This tends to focus on how organisations, governments, or public services will utilise AI and automate various jobs.

Today, we explore how we as individuals can use AI to help us get ahead and revolutionise how we work. AI expert James Crawford shares his 5P's model and also explains which AI systems work best for specific jobs. He then discusses some of the uses and best practices he has experienced during his travels.

Plus, you'll hear 'what we did last summer', but somewhat less dramatic than the films or songs!

So if you're worried about getting left behind in the AI revolution, check this episode out!
