The Point
Podcast Description
Welcome to The Point — a podcast in which we speak to industry experts about the turning points in their lives and careers. There’s a time in all our journeys when we’re confronted with a sliding doors moment. Do we stick or twist? Zig or zag? Throw caution to the wind or take a step back? And often, out of these quandaries comes clarity. You might not realise it at the time, but a healthy helping of hindsight allows you to put the pieces together and understand how confronting that fork in the road has put you on the path you’re on today. You might have moved away from home, confronted that toxic manager, started your own business, switched careers entirely, or met somebody who — unbeknownst to you — changes the course of your life. On The Point, we talk to influential figures from the world of marketing, design, business, and beyond — inviting them to explore the turning points in their unique story and inspire listeners to embrace the bumps, trust their guts, and know that there’s rarely a straight line to success.
