Why this exists

Most career advice doesn't fit the world we're actually working in.

AI, hiring, burnout, promotions, purpose - we're all figuring it out as we go, mostly without a map. Favourite Positions is where I sit down with people who are in the middle of it - founders, operators, thinkers - and ask the questions I'm genuinely curious about. No script. No pitch. Just honest conversations about what's working, what's falling apart, and what might be possible next.
