Who wants to be a f***ing leader?

Since 2019 Amir and David have been catching up for what they term 'shit sandwiches', exchanging professional and personal trials and successes, sharing sympathy and occasional advice. Should I leave my job; how do I handle a difficult report; how do I get buy in; and do you know a good osteo you could recommend, my back is killing me.

They’ve have turned our catch up sessions into a live, high stakes gameshow for the product community's amusement.

They will be borrowing from the 'who wants to be a millionaire format' and we will share stories that will hopefully inspire people to step up and lead (when required) in this messy and uncertain world we find ourselves in.

Get ready to have some fun and hopefully learn a thing or two.
