Can life’s biggest challenges become the key to success? In this episode of the Human First™️ podcast, I sit down with Jamie Livingston, CEO & Founder of Livingston James Group, to talk about resilience, leadership, and the power of being in the right place.

Jamie shares how being made redundant during the financial crash - with a nine-month-old baby at home - became the catalyst for launching his own successful recruitment business. We discuss how setbacks often lead to the greatest opportunities, why resilience is essential for growth, and how the right people in the right roles can transform careers and businesses.

If you’re navigating career uncertainty, business challenges, or looking for inspiration on turning obstacles into opportunities, this episode is for you.
