From PRISON To Successful CEO | That Peckham Boy

Sep 27, 2023

Good Afternoon,

I want to highlight this week’s podcast because it shows what Common Sense is all about. Kenny's story is important and deserves to be known by more people.

When he was arrested for a crime he didn't commit, Kenny faced at least thirty years behind bars – longer than the life he had lived.

In this podcast, we talk about his transformative time in prison, and the people and conversations that took him from being on trial for murder into the company of some of the most successful people in the world.

This new episode of #CommonSensePod Is a must-listen and is out on all platforms

Do share the conversation and as always, let us know what you think!

Talking Leadership With One Of Britains Youngest Councillors

Almost 90% of voters - including 65% of Tories - say Britain needs a fresh team of leaders, poll suggests.

Labour has had a huge lead in opinion polls for about a year now, and the voting intention figures from Ipsos, putting Labour at 44%, and the Tories at 24%, suggest the Labour lead is as strong as ever.

Last week, we talked about political leadership with Cylcia Manwa one of Britain’s youngest councillors

THIS Is Why Everyone HATES The News w/ Jodie Jackson

We still can’t get over the amazing conversation with Jodie Jackson.

According to Oxford, trust in the news has fallen across Europe and the proportion of people who say they avoid news has increased sharply across countries. Why don't we trust the news and what can we do about it?

Jodie is the founder of the News Literacy Lab, author of “You Are What You Read: why changing your media diet can change the world” and of children’s book, “Little Ruffle and The World Beyond“.

You can also listen to the conversations wherever you get your podcasts. Let us know what you think about the conversation.

Our Live Recording Was A Success

Two weekends ago weekend, we tried something new at Common Sense. We welcomed a live studio audience to our office and studio to try out what recording a live show might be like! The results were spectacular. Our office was buzzing with life and we can’t wait for you to see the footage.

We discussed,

Can society progress, if we hold on to traditional gender roles?
With the advent of new working styles and career paths, can people find fulfilment in a standard 9-5 Career?
Do we need to rethink the traditional nuclear family, as society progresses and adopts various new structures?
