Summary

You can up to Jimmy's substack here for weekly content on the future of work, technology, and politics. If I were to read today’s guest’s entire CV, I would fill this entire episode description.  Martha Lane Fox is a name that speaks for itself - she is one of the defining figures in 21st century British Entpreneurship, best known for founding lastminute.com. She has since dedicated her career to a life in the public realm, becoming the youngest female member of the House of Lords and recently becoming the Chancellor of the Open University.  As you can hear Martha had a bit of a sore throat at time of recording but persevered to give us her unique insights on the future of the British Economy, the biggest changes in hiring in the past few decades and why she regrets Desert Island Discs. In a momentous week for British Politics, Rishi Sunak has become the newest British PM - you may remember we interviewed him back in January when he was Chancellor. It was one of the most revealing interviews he’s ever given. We covered mental health, the challenge of being a new parent and much much more- you check it out on our website at www.jobsofthefuture.co.
