What Happens Now?

Mike Oldham lost his brand new job as an Event Director right at the start of the coronavirus crisis.⁣⁣It lasted less than a day! Despite the obvious challenges that threw up for him and his family, he was determined to turn it into a positive. He decided to start this podcast from his home in SW London, creating a series of interviews in order to share stories of how the crisis was affecting other people - personally and professionally - and how they were coping as the whole world went into lockdown.⁣ ⁣Most importantly, he wanted to focus on the ways in which his guests each plan to emerge from this crisis in a positive way. ⁣⁣If you would like to support the podcast you can do so here (25% of donations go to NHS Charities Together): https://www.gofundme.com/what-happens-now-podcast

What Happens Now?

Philip Ross - CEO and Futurist

June 29, 2020 • Mike Oldham • Season 1 • Episode 10

In the tenth (and final) episode of Season One of this podcast, I wanted to go back and re-visit the day I was made redundant from the job I was due to start just before the covid crisis hit.

So much has happened since then, and I thought it would be really interesting to speak to the CEO who actually let me go, and find out what that day - and the two months since - were like from his perspective.

Philip Ross is the CEO and founder of Unwork, a company that specialises in creating concepts for new ways of working. Philip is a futurologist, or futurist, and therefore has some really fascinating insights in to how he views the future of work.

In this episode, we discuss some of those ideas, as well as the impact of coronavirus and how things are likely to change (for the better!) in the future.

And of course, I had to ask him about that day in March.....
