Interesting People with Interesting Jobs

a podcast from Luxi for anyone interested in the future world of work

We talk to interesting people that we know and new people we meet about the interesting jobs that they do and what got them there, and sometimes how they see the future - with some useful career tips for others.

Have a listen if you're considering your career, or just curious about what jobs other people do. Detailed introductions and links to each podcast are available on your podcast platform, eg Anchor, Apple, Spotify etc (transcripts coming soon 🥳)
