In this episode, we are exploring the question – where does being vulnerable really get us?

For our guest, Hamed Amiri, being vulnerable throughout his life has not been easy, but as you’ll discover, his learning to accept and embrace it has changed not only his own life, but the lives of many others.

Born in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, Hamed and his family embarked on an extraordinary journey that led him to escape to the UK at the age of ten. His compelling memoir, The Boy With Two Hearts, intricately details his family's perilous quest for refuge in the UK, a journey overshadowed by his brother Hussein's terminal illness. In this conversation, Hamed literally utilises the act of vulnerability to tell you, our listeners his devastating, yet awe-inspiring story. If there was ever a time to comprehend the impact of vulnerability in action, and in turn, to learn how to harness it yourself, this is it.

In this episode, we explore the question – are we too inclusive as a society? We explore the different perspectives on this question, ultimately unpacking what inclusivity really is.

Joining us is a very special guest – Michelle King, a globally recognised author and expert on inequality and organizational culture who became Netflix’s first Director of Inclusion, as well as heading up UN Women’s Integrated Strategy for Gender Innovation & GICC.

This conversation unpacks what real, genuine inclusive leadership looks like – dissecting the performative, and the authentic, as well as sharing her data-backed knowledge around how we can effectively steer the culture in a direction that is mutually beneficial for all people.

Having just released a new book, How Work Works: The Subtle Science of Getting Ahead, Michelle also deep dives into the unwritten rules of the modern workplace, lifting the veil on how to harness the challenges all workplaces face in order to be successful, authentic and stay true to your purpose.
