  • Harnessing Technology to Support Displaced Ukrainians Worldwide
    Mar 13 2024

    Iman Fadaei is helping the estimated 10 million displaced Ukrainians find work worldwide. From a standing start, he and his team are helping get Ukrainians into work wherever they end up, which helps them with accommodation, mental well-being, and quickly integrating into society.

    The platform was initiated in response to the situation of their CTO Igor, who is Ukrainian and still based in Ukraine. The suddenness of his plight during these first days of the war and the severity of the situation his family and friends are still experiencing has inspired the team to contribute however they can.

    From over 100 countries, they have posted 2000+ vacancies from companies looking to help. And this is just the beginning – staggeringly, employukraine.org has only been live for 30 days and has already been covered by Forbes, CNBC, Sifted, SIA, REC and others.

  • Revving Up the British Motor Show: A Tale of Resilience and Innovation in the Face of a Pandemic
    Mar 13 2024

    Meet Andy Entwistle CEO of The British Motor Show

    Prepare to be taken on a journey of automotive revival, as Andy, a true veteran of the car industry, joins us to recount the adrenaline-fueled adventure of breathing life back into the iconic British Motor Show. Discover how he steered through the unpredictable roadblocks and high-speed turns of reinventing the illustrious event, which vanished in 2008. From securing the legendary name to crafting a show that drove nearly 50,000 fans wild with excitement, Andy's tale is one of passion, perseverance, and the power of four wheels.

    Buckle up for an exploration into the challenges that came with the COVID-19 pandemic, throwing a wrench in the gears of event planning. Andy opens up about the momentous decision to hit the brakes and postpone the show, a strategic pit stop that led to a roaring comeback, defying the odds of the industry's pandemic paralysis. We celebrate the event's success, highlighting the last-minute ticket surge that crowned the show a phenomenal spectacle, reinforcing our belief in the magnetic allure of motor events.

    As the episode shifts gears, we address the electrifying topic of EVs and their pivotal role in the future of driving. With Andy's insights, we learn how transforming car shows into an immersive playground, where petrol heads and the EV-curious can get hands-on with the latest electric models, is accelerating the shift toward greener wheels. We wrap up pondering the delicate balance between scaling up and keeping the authentic charm of the show, much like tuning a classic car for modern-day performance. It's an episode that drives home the value of innovation, experience, and the timeless love for automobiles.
