Looking back and forward It’s a conversation wrapped in nostalgia when Bobby and Andrew welcome Mancini Duffy’s Bill Mandara to the pod. From remembering childhood aspirations through to the aspirations of the present, the conversation is one focused on being authentic and being willing to try new things. Bill shares how he and partner Christian Giordano have re-thought their business at Mancini Duffy to transform the firm into a multi-disciplinary practice that lifts up intrapreneurs and embraces new tech and ways of thinking at every opportunity. As a bonus, this episode also features BTE’s first ever ‘hat day’ as well as - after months of talking AI - our first Skynet reference.
