CEO + Founder, Metail. 

I met Tom at an entrepreneur roundtable hosted at Runway East in Shoreditch London a few years ago. Turns out we have a fair bit in common given we went to the same school in London and also studied at Cambridge University. We're also both of mixed heritage: Tom is a half-Norwegian half-Nigerian combo to my half-Swiss half-Kenyan-Indian background.

I've noticed Tom put up some interesting posts on LinkedIn since the start of the Black Lives Matter protests and thought I would invite him onto the show to dig a little deeper. We cover:

• What is driving the huge protests behind the BLM movement and why are people taking it more seriously than ever before.
• Why Tom is writing to our old school to get involved in improving how history is taught to adolescents, especially when it comes to black history and Britain's colonial past.
• The great work Tom is doing to mentor young black entrepreneurs and help them access funding they often are not able to reach.
• How Tom worked hard in his own start-up to build a fair and inclusive environment before selling the business last year. We also touch on how Tom is helping promote awareness of the ethnicity pay-gap. 

I hope it sparks some good thoughts.
