In episode #27, we’re joined by Jonjo O’Hara, principal and co-founder of Tenet Recruitment - a boutique technology recruitment firm with a philosophy of helping connect purposeful people across the customer lifecycle. Today’s conversation covers of plethora of topics as Jonjo and I unpack what it means to find purpose in our work and how the incessant need for growth can be a double-edged sword.
