Got a question for The NABS Podcast?

Hamish Nicklin is co-founder and CEO of Agent Flow, who build AI solutions that help businesses to grow.

Hamish Nicklin is a life force and one of the industry’s best-known names, having held senior positions at Dentsu Media UK, Guardian Media and Google. He is also a trustee of NABS and pulls no punches when describing how vital NABS is to adland, and why everybody needs to donate to keep NABS’ vital work going.

Hamish is exuberant throughout, even when discussing the burnout that led to him reevaluating his life and ultimately changing him forever.

If you want to feel cheered up and supported, this is the episode for you.

Key takeaways:

• Your upbringing can contribute to burnout – at some point, the values you were taught as a child may crash into the realties you’re dealing with as an adult. Therapy can help you to unlock what’s going on.
• Take the time to find the right therapy for you – for Hamish, it was about finding practical solutions after understanding his past.
• Don’t fear AI. Instead, learn to vibe code and play around with the technology.
