Episode 6 David Carlin

New podcast adventure! Finance plays a fundamental role in our society and the systems that we have created. Arguably, it is the most important part of the system to get right - and yet, it is not yet fully fit for purpose. It gives me great hope that changemakers like David are passionately and diligently creating a positive change. I am hugely grateful for David's work and loved exploring the theme with him, I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking ☀️
