Rich Cooper, the ultimate example of someone that intentionally job-crafts their role across coaching, financial crime and a passion for education, kindly suggested and offered to record a reflective episode of the Value through Vulnerability podcast following my recent Hvae Courage Online Summit (I played with re-branding the podcast to Have Courage, but Value through Vulnerability feels the right focus).
