Against the Tide
Against the Tide, is all about disruption - not just technology but also ways of doing things better.Without disruptors, society and our world would never progresss. In Series 1, I interviewed leaders of disruptive businesses which were seeking to change the world in some way - and which had "purpose".In Series 2, I have changed the format. I still engage with leaders of disruptive businesses but also with individuals who are able to comment on the disruption - and I seek to go deeper into the issue rather than just discuss with the relevant founder or CEO. "Purpose" is still the unifying principle.
