09: Empathize It: Ed Andrew: Self Awareness Starts with Responsibility

Empathize IT! Empathy and Entreprenuers

After speaking to Jenn Herman, in episode 8 Instagram and being human on social media, I decided to take a step back. It was time to reflect on the human aspects that drive business today. When considering my network, I thought Ed Andrew would be an ideal guest. Ed's brand The Human Consultancy focuses on the human side and one which inspires great people to thrive and to achieve great things. By combining Ed's business knowledge and personal experience, his brand is able to help people balance their career and shape their future. A business which has at its heart compassion, gratitude, integrity and most importantly giving back. My interview with Ed was recorded quite a while back around episode 2, when he reached out to me via Linkedin.
