Description

Today, we speak to Jimmy McLoughlin OBE , former Special Advisor to the UK Prime Minister on business, technology and entrepreneurship. Jimmy now hosts Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, one of the UK’s top careers podcasts, and is the founder of Boxlight, a creative video agency.


In this conversation, Jimmy shares his remarkable journey: from shaping business policy at No.10 to swapping Downing Street for diapers, becoming a stay-at-home dad, and eventually building a podcast that grew from a few hundred listeners to over 91k subscribers.


We dive into:
✨ What a day in the life of a Special Adviser to the Prime Minister actually looks like
✨ The biggest leadership lessons from his years inside No.10
✨ How he built a community and audience from the ground up
✨ The future of jobs and the real impact of AI on the workforce
✨ How Jimmy would approach building a career if he were starting today
