Ollie on Work Robbie Stamp - Curiosity, Meaningful Work & Douglas Adams
I'm back a little later than planned after what's been a very busy few months. Future Work/Life is now a business - I'll be leaning on the many insights developed from the newsletter and this podcast to help clients design the future of work. As of last week, I'm also writing a book, which will be on the shelves in Autumn 2022. It's called Work/Life Flywheel: Find flow and propel your career to the next level, and it will consolidate my thinking about the various themes I discuss with guests on this show.
In today's episode, I'm joined by Robbie Stamp, CEO of Bioss International, a global network of organisation and people development consultancies. Robbie is also a Senior Fellow at the Resilience and Sustainable Development Programme at Cambridge University and has the UK Parliamentary Select Committee for AI. He was Executive Producer on the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy feature film, having previously set up a business with his friend, Douglas Adams.
Robbie and I have got to know each other over the past few months, resulting in many fascinating conversations, which is why I invited him onto the show. You'll hear us discuss why it's possible to achieve harmony between work and your personal life and the importance of curiosity and building new connections. We also hear Robbie's thoughts on the most exciting applications for AI, and why 'meaning-making' is critical when we think about the future of work. Plus, of course, we chat a little about what Robbie learned from the great Douglas Adams.
