As we’ve said, and as you can glean from the title of our podcast, we want to make sure that we have fun and that you get great value from our chats as well as having a bit of a laugh. But how far can we take it? What are the limits of having fun in business? In our first podcast we investigate this and cover such things as:

• Our hats!
• Why people should fall out of love with Bad Dave
• How far can you go without damaging your brand?
• Stop telling us to be kind!
• The offence spectrum
• Getting into the Habito habit
• Wokery – good or bad?
• The implicit bias test
• How to be different and stand out
