Why Olympic Bronze Means More Than Gold with Chris Skelley MBE

In this episode, James sits down with Paralympic judo champion Chris Skelley MBE.

From battling childhood bullying and being misdiagnosed by doctors, to finding strength through sport, Chris shares his powerful journey of resilience, mental health struggles, and ultimate triumph on the world stage.

We dive into the highs of winning gold in Tokyo, the emotional fight for bronze in Paris, and why that medal means more than any other.

Now retired, Chris reflects on sacrifice, identity, and his mission to inspire the next generation to thrive, whatever their challenges.

From Chatbots to Candidate Experience with Martyn Redstone

This week James is joined by Martyn Redstone, or as many in the industry know him, Mr. AI.

Martyn’s been in recruitment for nearly two decades, with over a dozen years immersed in rec tech, and long before AI became the buzzword it is today, he was already helping recruiters craft smart, responsible automation strategies.

From building some of the earliest recruitment chatbots to running the first AI and automation agency in our sector, Martyn’s been right at the heart of conversational AI.

James and Martyn dig into how technology is reshaping candidate experience, what recruitment can learn from e-commerce, and maybe even peek into that slightly dystopian future where AI talks to AI to find you your next job.
