My favourite episodes are the ones that leave me with a fresh new perspective. That's what makes today's a classic.Marcus Buckingham is the author of two of the best-selling business books of all time, has two of Harvard Business Review’s most circulated, industry-changing cover articles, and has been the subject of in-depth profiles in some of the world's leading publications, as well as The Oprah Winfrey Show.

As CEO, he quickly turned it into a Human Capital Management company working with some of the world’s largest organizations. He is known as the world’s most prominent researcher on strengths and leadership at work, and today leads research at the ADP Research Institute. He's the author of ten books and his latest is called Love and Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life, which we discuss in detail in the show.LINKS:LINKS:Love and WorkMarcus's websiteMarcus's TwitterOllie's LinkedInFuture Work/Life newsletterFuture Work/Life websiteMy book, Work/Life Flywheel: Harness the work revolution and reimagine your career without fear, will be published on 17th January 2023.
