Send us Fan Mail What do organisations do with anger? Mostly, they manage it away. It's inconvenient, it's dangerous, it belongs in therapy or the exit interview, not the team meeting. We think that's a mistake. In this conversation, Sophie and James sit with rage, the grief that usually sits beneath it, and the discipline of metabolising strong feeling rather than suppressing or spilling it.

Sophie and Sarah reflect on AI as a mirror for culture and power, the growing importance of leadership judgment, and why the real challenge now is not speed or adoption but choice. ...

And what changes when you stop treating it as a final judgement and start using it as a way of noticing what’s really going on as work unfolds. They talk abou...
Send us Fan Mail AI is moving fast. But the real challenge is not technical. It is human. In this episode of the Mayvin Podcast, Sophie Tidman is joined by Hugo Pickford-Wardle to explore where AI is leading us, and what it asks of us as humans at work. Together they unpack why AI can feel both unsettling and deeply empowering, how it acts as a trickster technology that exposes our assumptions about value, productivity and intelligence, and why integrating AI is less about figuring out tools ...
