S2 Ep 6. Navigating careers when you’re young and disadvantaged with Jack Parsons (UK's Chief Youth Officer & CEO, The Youth Group)

Jack Parsons is CEO of The Youth Group, which provides young people with the tools they need to get ahead and grow in work. He's an award-winning entrepreneur and speaker on youth, and has interviewed figures such as Rishi Sunak (which we find out more about in the episode!)

This time, it was our turn to interview Jack. We explored his powerful personal story, and talked about questions like:

How do you strike the right balance between making money and living your values?
How can young people from disadvantaged backgrounds overcome barriers to finding the right work?
Is there such a thing as a dream job – and how would we know we’d found it?
