How's the business going?

We're busier than ever, but struggling to get the staff we need. Recruiting can be such a distraction. We gave Job Centre Plus a try, and they've really helped us out. Really? Yeah. It was dead easy. We got our own employer advisor, Julie, who helped advertise our jobs, shortlisted candidates for us and letters interview at the Job Centre. We've hired some great people, and Job Centre Plus really took the hassle out of it, And there was no fee.

It's the Rikishay podcast with Stephen Hayward. I'm James Lillings.

Whoa, Peter Robinson. He's back. And who are we going to talk to? Harmeet Dillon.

So let's have ourselves a podcast. And they're hoping that activists will get

those tickets to either disrupt the event from inside or not show up and try and make it look

like we have an empty event. There's also a standby line that we usually have in place so that

And believe me, I got a code later in the show

that's going to give you 50% off that. You're going to love it because once you join, you're part of the

very at tumultal Minnesota, Minneapolis. Stephen is, while we're looking at Stephen in a bare room, he appears, it looks like a liminal space from a video game from 1997.

Why did God give us autumn? Whoa, it's my favorite season of the year, Peter. That's heresy. Excuse me, I put that, I put that a little loosely.

Why did God give us the last third of autumn?

Oh, okay. The first, a necessary transition from which we go from the absolute chromatic glory that is, well, actually, no. Autumn starts in full green involvement, where everything is perfect and everything's alive and then it
