Karlton welcomes Louise McCrystal, Vendor Alliance Manager at Insight, into the studio for the latest episode of the podcast.

Louise takes a look back over her extensive career within the Channel, and recalls memories of how her and Karlton first met (at an airport before a work retreat to Norway, of course!)

Looking at life on a personal level, Louise reflects on some of the more difficult times in her life, including the terminal cancer diagnosis of her fiancé, and how her loved ones, colleagues, and the wider Channel rallied together to support her through her toughest period.

Karlton asks Louise to come up with three words other would use to describe her on a personal and professional level, before asking her the big question - what does Louise want her legacy to be?

In the latest episode of the podcast, Karlton welcomes a key figure to his development within his role with Schneider Electric; Justin Ellis, Managing Director at Comms Express.

Justin talks about his Essex upbringing, and the various jobs he went through (including a stint at V Festival, meeting some of his music idols) before being asked by friends to be involved in the very early stages of a new business venture - Comms Express.

Having made his way up the chain to become Managing Director, Justin reflects on the working environment he encourages within the business, the quality of those he employs, and the odd-jobs he's found himself doing over the years - including knocking down walls and cleaning the loos!

We're halfway through the first season of the podcast, and Karlton's next guest is someone with over 20 years in the industry - Anna Renaud, Head of Vendor Alliance at Storm Technologies.

Anna walks Karlton through the stages of her life; childhood, then education, before reflecting on her first roles in the Channel, and what her job role entails today.

Acknowledging that she's a louder individual, Anna talks Karlton through why she thinks she's the person she is today, before the paur share their ways of dealing with conflict and the habits they have in common.

Anna and Karlton reflect on their home lives, the importance of limiting stress in the workplace, and finally what Anna would like to leave as her legacy.
