Series 1 Episodes 12 & 13. Philip Taylor: from IBM exec to the ambulance service
This episode I talk with Philip Taylor, who "had it all" as a senior executive at IBM. However, despite the salary and company car, this didn't make Philip satisfied with his work or his life at IBM. We discuss the challenges he faced changing his career from the corporate world to a totally new sphere - the ambulance service.
Along the way, we also discuss fear, materialism and the right way to buy.
Philip explains to me he does so much more than drive an ambulance, the importance of teamwork and family and his perspective from being on the front line of the COVID-19 response.
For different outro music, Philip recommends: ruclips.net/video/kY4l2Xx3crs/видео.html
