Two themes that came out of this podcast were ‘diversity’ and ‘giving back’.

Richard catches up with Kevin Davis who spoke about 'First Workings’, as one of our first Podcast guests. Kevin created this organisation to support kids from underserved communities in New York.

Kevin and Richard are now proud to announce ‘First Workings’ will launch in London. For more information: www.firstworkings.org.
