Summary

In August we hosted the first-ever live show of Jimmy's Jobs of the Future at The Selkirk in Tooting.It was amazing to see so many listeners in real life and the whole evening was an unforgettable experience and milestone in the journey of the show. We can't do it all again soon. This episode is the recording of the live show to give you a taste of what you may have missed out on: a brilliant discussion with Patch Founder Freddie Fforde.Freddie is an inspiring entrepreneur looking to solve the office Vs work-from-home dilemma by offering something of a middle ground- Work Near Home.  It's a great concept and in a world of increasingly polarised extremes it's nice to see sometimes the solution to a complex issue is down the middle of the road.

When we started this podcast, it was during the first lockdowns at the height of the pandemic.
