Listen as we have a thought provoking discussion with Murray Gray.  We talk about  how to find meaning in our day to day, how to adjust to our ever evolving purpose and how we can be courageous (and privileged) enough to step out of conformity and do things in such a way that only you can do.Murray spent around a decade in the creative industries representing the interests and guiding the careers of creative talent. Murray has been involved in 4 startup companies; in his twenties he was the founder of one, he was on the founding team of two of them and acted as the right hand man to his brother for the fourth.
