Dear 21 Year Old Me
A podcast exploring life lessons from leaders
Each episode’s guest is a leader with their own fascinating story. We ‘go back in time’ to recall and reflect on their 21st birthday – the fun, the (perhaps embarrassing) speeches, and what the world was like when they were 21. We ask what they thought being 21 would be like, and what lessons they’ve learned along the way.
