Megan Haigh - Finding confidence after redundancy, the entrepreneurial loop and the art of patience. Ep. 52 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are some podcast conversations that leave you thinking long after you’ve finished recording, and today’s brilliant episode with Megan Haigh is certainly one of them.
