Summary

(This is a replay of an old episode from 2018. My book The Multi-Hyphen Method had just come out, and Bruce's book The Joy Of Work).

Bruce Daisley is the former European Vice-President at Twitter and host of the business podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat.  He has been one of the Evening Standard’s 1,000 Most Influential Londoners for four years and is one of Debrett’s 500 Most Influential People in Britain and according to Campaign magazine Bruce is ‘one of the most talented people in media’. He is the author of 'The Joy Of Work: 30 Ways to Fix Your Work Culture and Fall in Love with Your Job Again' and writes a newsletter on Substack called Eat Sleep Work Repeat.


He is obsessed with making work better. He's dedicated his last few years to chatting to the leading experts in workplace culture - and using evidence to find a way to improving it.


It's a practical, uplifting, helpful book all about making the workplace a bit better, which is important considering we spend so much time there.


- We mention this piece "Why ‘Do What You Love’ Is Pernicious Advice: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/08/do-what-you-love-work-myth-culture/399599/
