Accessibility shouldn’t be an afterthought - and Luis Canto e Castro is here to prove why.

Founder of Unstoppable Living Limited, multi-award-nominated accessibility consultant, coach, and disability advocate, Luis is known for his fearless honesty and his mission to make inclusion real, practical, and impactful.

In this episode of Tap Into Something Better, we dive into:

• Why accessibility has to be built in from the start - not retrofitted later at huge cost
• The surprising digital barriers costing businesses billions in lost revenue (and how to fix them)
• Why “reasonable adjustments” are anything but reasonable - and the policies that actually work
• How AI is becoming an enabler for disabled professionals (and why it’s not about replacement)
• Plus: why Luis thinks bringing your hobbies to work could transform culture

This is a conversation full of blunt truths, practical insights, and a fresh perspective on what it takes to move accessibility beyond tick-box exercises and into everyday business success.

Vulnerability, menopause, and a house built by women — meet the D&I leader breaking every mould.

Kat Parsons is the Group Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Centrica — and a force for change in some of the UK’s most male-dominated industries. In this episode, Kat shares why true inclusion starts with picking one big thing and going all-in, how a simple conversation about menopause unlocked cultural change in FM, and why vulnerability (with a dash of humour) is her secret leadership tool.

We also dive into the Female Design & Build Project — Kat’s audacious mission to renovate her home using an all-female team, from architects to asbestos surveyors. The result? A living case study proving women belong in every role, on and off the tools.

Whether you’re leading cultural change, advocating for underrepresented voices, or just love a good story about breaking the rules to get results — this conversation will leave you inspired (and maybe a little braver).

In this episode of Tap Into Something Better, Hannah Freeman Jarvis sits down with workplace strategist, author, and co-founder of The Human-Centric Workplace, Simone Fenton Jarvis.

Together they go far beyond the yoga mats and fruit bowls to talk about the real shifts companies need to make if they want to build workplaces that truly serve people - not just policies or productivity metrics.

Expect honest conversation, real-world insights, and the kind of practical thinking that challenges the status quo.

We cover:

• Why “return to office” is one of the most damaging buzzwords in workplace culture

• The disconnect between what employees want vs. what they need, and how to close the gap

• The role of tech, design, self-awareness, and (yes) therapy in building better spaces

• How to spot whether a workplace is inclusive the second you walk through the door

If you work in FM, HR, culture or leadership - or you're just tired of performative workplace culture - this episode is a must-listen.
