[0:37] Leanne Elliott: Hello and welcome to Truth, Lies and Work, the award-winning psychology podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network, the audio destination for business professionals. My name is Leanne. I'm a chartered psychologist

[0:59] Leanne Elliott: We are here to help you simplify the science of work and create amazing workplace cultures
[1:02] Al Elliott: Yes, yes. Welcome, welcome, welcome. A quick reminder, if you like guest interviews and hearing stories of how organizations big and small have built amazing workplace cultures, then our Thursday episodes are right up your street. We bring you brand new interviews every single Thursday. I hope you enjoyed last Thursday. If you haven't listened to last Thursday, oh my goodness, biggest cheese we've possibly ever had on the pod. You will love it
[1:25] Leanne Elliott: And if you'd like to keep up to date with the latest news around the workplace, then you're in the right place. Every Tuesday we bring you our weekly news roundup and of course our world-famous weekly workplace surgery where I answer your questions. And this week we are back with our new segment Hot Takes, where we uncover the truth and lies of work with the help of thought leaders and influencers. We're asking them for their boldest insights, whether it's a controversial prediction Or even an unpopular opinion. Um, I think we can say that without copyright infringement from BBC Radio 1, can't we?
[1:58] Al Elliott: Not unless I sing the, the theme tune
[2:00] Leanne Elliott: Don't do that, we'll get cancelled. Anyway, nothing is off limits, it really isn't. Um, we're trying to get to the bottom of what is happening in the world of work, what's broken, and what on earth is coming next. Um, we started strong last week with Phil Agnew, behavioural science expert and host of Nudge, the UK's number one marketing podcast. And this week we're bringing you another powerhouse in the world of business, marketing, and podcasting. Stay tuned for that
