    Time to pass on the mic and switch sides. In this episode, we have turned the tables and give Oli a go on the hot seat. Oli will be answering a bunch of quick-fire questions to give us an insight into his life and way of thinking. From his hypothetical very first team meeting as manager and his journey and drive behind self-employment to the biggest lesson life has taught him in recent years – an episode full of remarkable insights. Thank you, Oli, for your vulnerability and for sharing your stories and knowledge. A slightly uncomfortable experience for the man usually in charge of the questions, but one that has given our listeners an incredible insight into who Oli is and what we can all learn from the eldest of us four.
