S3 Ep 3. Labour's former Deputy Leader on building a new career after politics with Tom Watson (Author, consultant and former MP)

Tom Watson is the former Deputy Leader of the UK's Labour Party. He was a Member of Parliament for almost 20 years, serving in senior roles in both government and opposition, and is being appointed to the House of Lords.

We explore his career after leaving politics, including his roles as Chair of UK Music, author of Lose Weight 4 Life and other books, and founder of Downsizing Media.

We picked Tom’s brains about this fascinating trajectory, and discussed questions like:
- How did he adjust to leaving such a high-profile career, which for many people is so closely linked to their status and identity?
- How can policymakers, employers and individuals best respond to changes in technology and society, and the impact these will have on the world of work?
- How can people practically make space for, and find work in, their multiple passions and interests?
