I Love My Job
I remember that feeling when I left university, wondering what I should do for a living. I wasn't drawn to anything in particular at that point (the inspiration came much later) and I wish someone had sat me down and said "take your time, it's a big decision, and don't let money be your only guide." In this podcast, we listen to people who have embarked on a career that means something to them. Not just a job, but a vocation. Some have known all along it was what they wanted to do, and others have changed direction mid-career. What is life like when your job feels like a part of who you are?

I've gone off-piste from I Love My Job for this episode. This is a love letter to my cycling group Dawn Patrol, which meets three times a week at 05:40 (yep, in the morning) to cycle the same 18 miles / 30 km or so each time and then have coffee together, before heading off and tackling the day.
This group has become very special to a lot of us and I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to explain why and how.
At the heart of the story is the value and joy of spending time together in person, no screens involved. Turning the pedals along the same route through all four seasons. In Scotland! No day is the same. The constant is that we love to do it together.
