In this special edition of the Podcast, we sit down with Brendan Nwabichie who on August 3rd returned home from a 12-hour shift to find the remnants of his torched, overturned vehicle outside his flat after rioters caused havoc in Middlesbrough under the guise of protesting the passing of three young girls. He had previously saved up for 12 months to afford the vehicle and was overwhelmed with sadness. Though his sadness was remedied when his employer, Claire's Care UK set up a fundraiser on GofundMe to buy a replacement car which was set alight during the riot in Middlesbrough and within a few days exceeded its original £3,000 targeted and had raised more than £65,000. Though the good deed soon turned sour with mixed messaging coming from Claire's Care UK as to what the extra funds were to be used for with accusations that they were misappropriating the donated funds. Brendan joins us to briefly share his side of the story and tell the truth about what happened. As always, please comment below with your thoughts and don't forget to Like, Share And Subscribe

Chris Barron, General Manager Personal Care UK&I / VP Deodorants Europe at Unilever With nearly 25 years' experience in the industry, Chris is the General Manager for Unilever's Personal Care business in the UK&I, and VP for Deodorants Europe. He was also recently appointed as Deputy chair for the industry body the Cosmetics, Toiletries and Perfumeries Association. Chris started his career with L'Oréal on their management trainee scheme, before working both in their marketing team in London, and the International Development team based in the company's global headquarters in Paris. He first joined Unilever in 2006 and has since then worked in London, Chicago, and New Jersey on many of Unilever's biggest brands. Since 2017 he has been on the UK&I leadership team and is currently General Manager of the Personal Care business unit. He is also charged with running the program for the Deodorants business across Europe, Australia & NZ, leading the cross functional team for this €1bn business. Chris has significant experience in working on purposeful brands. He has worked hard to pioneer a number of initiatives on Hygiene Poverty, to address the fact that almost half of low-income households have had to go without hygiene products because they can no longer afford them. This has seen more than one million products donated to charity partner In Kind Direct over the last year, and he is now working on scaling the initiative across the industry. Most recently, on Unilever's Dove brand, he has been involved in launching Cost of beauty: A Dove film which invites people to join us on our mission to make social media a more positive place for young people. Chris is married to Lizzie and has two daughters, Alice and Lottie. He is a big rugby and cricket fan, but the Chicago Cubs will always have a place in his heart. Chris's top leadership tips are firstly, to ‘make it personal' with people by connecting with his team and broader stakeholders in a personable, authentic way. Secondly, his work during the pandemic as one of the leading manufacturers of soap and hygiene products in the UK&I informs his tip to wash your hands - more often than you think you need to and for longer. This is a habit from the pandemic we must keep, which would help to reduce the burden on the NHS by keeping us healthier and avoiding respiratory diseases. Hosted on Acast.

Does Australia need a "big" government? Dr Richard Denniss, chief economist at The Australia Institute examines the false narrative that Australians have been told for decades – that the less government spends, the better their lives will be. Richard talks about taxes, the weaponisation of shame in our welfare system, and what we can really afford as a country, if we choose it. His book is called, 'Big: The Role of the State in the Modern Economy.' Poet and advocate Dr Sarah Holland-Batt discusses the crisis in aged care in-depth and talks of the many older Australians suffering and dying of COVID-19 due to unprecedented COVID-19 outbreaks in aged care homes. Plus, Dr Ben Wellings, Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at Monash University, talks about the latest in UK politics, the ongoing Boris Johnson "party-gate" controversy, and declining public trust in politics and politicians.
