In this episode we talk about Money!You may have heard people say 'Don't ever talk to people about Politics, Sex or Money.'Well we are steering away from the first two but have decided to go all in on Money.The millennial generation is said to be the first generation that is predicted to be poorer than their parents and statistics tell us that most families do not have enough money saved to cover them in an emergency. In a world such as this can we afford not to make money a more central part of our curriculum?Hosted by Roma Dhameja and Karl C Pupe this podcast explores the above with the help of Rhys Chudasama a young man who started an apprenticeship with KPMG after school and who talks about his experiences with money.

In this episode Karl and Roma discuss The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities Report, it's impact and whether we can really measure racial discrimination.  We also talk about the power of representation. We are absolutely delighted to be joined by Adrian McLean, known to many on twitter as @Character_guy and is a powerful voice when it comes to inclusivity and representation. Adrian shares his years of experience as a head and now a Trust Leader and leaves Karl and Roma speechless with his wisdom!
