As we reach this, our last episode of season 1, we ask – what is the most dangerous game? Be it man? Be it beast? Be it a stupid combination of both in a sport which is the folly of human humankind manifest?

I'm not sure. Let's find out!

This week we gallop around, ruining the fabric of society, drifting our chariots. Might even set a fire or two. What a fitting end to the series.

Further to this, may I tempt you with: How to deal with a critic without getting your hands dirty, how to utilise mystery shoppers to lower the tone and why being shot might not win you a mayorship.

We were joined by Mark Carolan, transformational coach and keynote speaker who can be found at:
