The Curiosity Quotient

CQ Series 2 Episode 2: From Glasgow to the World Cup via Discovering Meditation

For episode 2 of the new series of the Curiosity Quotient it was a delight to welcome Stevie Fine. As ever the conversation started and immediately went in directions unanticipated. Stevie and I were at the same university at the same time, in the same department and yet we never met then and yet 30 years later the conversation flowed like we had been talking for all those years. And as an exploration of finding deeper meaning and value in our lives as we age this felt like a cathartic and needed slow conversation!

CQ Series 2 Episode 1: From the startup "shove" to the "non 10 year plan"

With the start of 2026 it felt like the right time to embark on season 2 of the Curiosity Quotient. I was delighted to go international for this one and invite the brilliant Calli Adamson Bakken, founder of Wiggle Work. In this episode we got to chat about how Calli's journey has brought her to taking on the challenge of solving the corporate childcare conundrum in the USA. But the episode was much more than that with Calli sharing what makes her tick and her unique take on the world. A great listen in these troubling times!!

CQ Series 1 Episode 15: From Dad Dancing to Understanding Society Through Waste

For my first episode of 2026 I had the pleasure of being joined by John Wilkinson, Chief Development Officer for Suez UK. And as ever the conversation went in directions I hadn't anticipated starting with discovering John has dad danced at the Blackpool Winter Gardens. It has to be worth listening to this episode simply to understand that reference 🤣. Thank you John for another fantastically Curious Conversation.

CQ Series 1 Episode 14: From A Fork in the Road to Psychosocial Safety in Organisations

In this episode I was joined by Baden Frosen for a brilliant wide ranging episode that began with Baden’s personal fork inthe road moment and ended up with us talking about Psychosocial Safety. It was just a conversation that, for me, had a bit of everything! Magical!

CQ Series 1 Episode 13: From being shaped by loss to being a truly trusting CEO

This was an episode that went in unexpected directions, thanks to my wonderfully open guest - Jeremy Hine - we explored a topic still little discussed in UK society. How to reconsider our experience of and engagement with the end of life of a loved one. Jeremy's insight and generosity in sharing his experiences and how they have shaped him is humbling - a truly emotional but worthwhile listen ❤️
