This week's guests on The Open Talent Report are Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst, authors of Workstyle: A revolution for wellbeing, productivity and society and founders of Hoxby.

Alex and Lizzie formed Huckleberry Partners (Hoxby) in early 2015 and have since been working tirelessly, albeit flexibly, to ensure more and more people can spend their time doing the work that inspires them. Inspired by their work, they released the book Workstyle: A revolution for wellbeing, productivity and society.
