I turned up late to record, so Nigel asked what time I’d have left for a million dollars. I said yesterday.

Nigel on the people behind every conference, from sound to name badges, and his EPIC idea for teams. Plus why even the best footballers still have a coach.

The last of our zoo week, on the dolphins in your team. Why the people who always say yes end up overloaded, and what happens if you let them down.

Elephants hate the word ish, and Nigel found that out the hard way guessing how many sausage rolls Greggs sells.

Part three of zoo week is the lions. Nigel on why they’d rather be right than happy, and the cage they build round themselves.

Part two of zookeeper week covers monkeys, the ideas people who need structure and want applause every time they take the bins out.

Our first listener question came from a jacuzzi in Mexico, and it got Nigel explaining the animals from his book It’s a Zoo Around Here.
