Comms from the Shed: interviewing diverse voices on our present and the future.

We speak to Mister Editorial - Shaun Randol - who joins us to talk about several years spent at Bloomberg in New York and reflects on his career so far in Corporate America. We also discuss what drew him to employee communication, the lesson he learned from interviewing one of his heroes, and why he will always be a journalist at heart.

Episode Summary

From Fintech blogger to a full time career in corporate communications, Shaun ran and managed a strategic multi channel function for 10 years. In that time he has also created numerous side hustles and publishing enterprises, such as the Mantle and Mister Editorial (which have given him a great deal of personal fulfilment). Join us in the Shed for a discussion on all things Comms, but also a reflection on the spirit of entrepreneurialism that many discovered during the pandemic.
