January 17, 2020

We explore a Londoner's work in recruiting and radio.

About this episode:

We go across-the-pond to chat with Russell White, a London-based executive recruiter who doubles as a radio host representing 1970s-era Disco music. Russ recounts his considerable success placing professional talent in executive roles in United Kingdom and European Union companies, and, offers his surprisingly positive post-Brexit outlook for people seeking work.

But, it is during evening hours behind a radio station microphone where he truly discovers the meaningful work of his dreams.

* Being "Retro Russ" on Delite Radio. Starts at 35:26
* His thoughts on doing meaningful work. Starts at 49:10

In the News:

Mid-January 2020 marked an epochal moment in American labor history as women became the majority of the active workforce. While their newfound majority will create some positive market-driven dynamics, we believe that women still need the protection of new state and federal laws too fully achieve income equality and proper family leave benefits.
