EP 264 - Can we use AI and psychology to predict human behaviour? with Anjuli Bedi
Anjuli is founder of The Psych AI Group, a business that helps clients “see round corners” by employing a blend of psychology and AI. We discuss the positive impact a blend of human and AI understanding can have on things like climate storytelling and action.

She also tells us why she thinks the notion that 'humans have no control over AI' qualifies for the big bin of bullshit.

EP 156 - Scott Hallsworth - Founder & Chef - Freak Scene
Meet Scott Hallsworth. As head chef at the acclaimed Nobu for six years, Australian-born Scott has mastered the art of Japanese cuisine. His modern style combined with the explosive smoky, umami flavours found in his dishes make him one of London's most popular chefs.
Nobu was where Scott learnt how to cook Japanese food at the highest level and spent six years at the helm of the Michelin-starred restaurant, even helping open a new branch in Melbourne. However, he grew tired of creating recipes for the menus without making a name for himself and decided to leave to set up his own ventures, including setting up the hugely successful Kurobuta restaurants.
Fast forward to 2017, Scott sold Kurobuta and opened up Freak Scene, a three-month pan-Asian pop-up in Farringdon which proved to be another huge hit. Pre-Covid, Freak Scene went on to become the ever-popular restaurant in the heart of Soho, London and is now opening its door at a new location in the coming months.

EP 75 - Business vs. Bullsh*t - NBCC Special with Kyrre Haugen
Welcome to this week’s special episode of BWB where we’re joined by Kyrre Haugan, General Manager of the NBCC.
We were lucky enough to recently attend their marvellous 115th Anniversary event where we managed to persuade Kyrre to let us record a special version of Business vs. Bullsh*t, on the ground, with guests who were attending the event, which, let’s say, became more and more colourful as the night progressed. In this episode we shall be playing the night’s recordings alongside hearing from Kyrre him about all things NBCC and find out how much Andy ended up paying for his charity auction bid!
Loads of fun in this one, all for a good cause. Pull up a chair and press play.

EP 70 - BWB Extra - Survival Through Faith with Jennifer Ogunyemi
This week our continued conversation with Jennifer Ogunyemi takes a different direction .. away from business talk and towards hearing her life story about abandonment and homelessness at 16 years old, being rejected by her family and living in hostels through to finding strength and positivity in Islam which became her life line and helped her become the successful business woman she is today.
It's a story which we believe is an incredible example of how people can deal with extreme adversity and use it as a basis to flourish both personally and professionally .. the kind of perspective we all need from time to time to keep ourselves in check.
Welcome to Survival Through Faith.

This week we continue our conversation with Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, a Channel 4 Sports Reporter, Journalist and Founder of Blakademik - an independent media network set up to celebrate, inspire and uplift black culture which Jordan felt compelled to create due to the misrepresentation he was seeing in mainstream media about his community and the adverse effect it was having on the younger generation.
We talk about Black Lives Matter and how non-black people should best address what happened, and get to hear Jordan's perspective on why he thinks business prejudice exists, both in the Black community and beyond, and how we can collectively address it to overcome false bias opinions to give all people an equal chance in excelling (oh and expect some tax and marriage chat too ;)
