Episode Synopsis

"You don't need a dream."  
In this episode, I reflect with Dr Iain Butterworth on the year that’s been, diving into the constructs of time, the importance of relationships, and our shared pursuit of meaning in life. We explore the challenges of professional life, the value of social equity and healthcare, and the transformative power of travel. 
We also take time to recap some of the standout conversations held on the podcast throughout 2024, highlighting key themes and insights that have resonated with us and our listeners, including taking “the unexpected route”. 
Iain and I unpack the complexities of social media, the influence of tech giants, and the critical role historical knowledge plays in shaping our understanding of the present. We discuss how to navigate disinformation, the media’s impact on society, and the opportunities to create dialogue around technology and diversity. Together, we emphasise the importance of meaningful conversations and authentic relationships. 
We round out the conversation by reflecting on the healing power of music, the significance of positive intention in performance, and my personal experiences, including the decision to step away from social media.
