À propos de cet audio

 We’re PJ Ellis and Andy Dawson - two dads, two mates, and two fellas who’ve spent our lives working across business, law, education, charity, and media. Between us, we've made a lot of mistakes, asked a lot of questions, and raised kids who are about to walk into a world of work that’s nothing like the one we grew up in. That’s why we started Wit + Grit - a space for real, human conversations about what it takes to thrive in a world full of AI, constant pressure, and curated perfection. This podcast is about the skills you can’t Google. Things like confidence, resilience, emotional intelligence, how to fail well, how to bounce back, how to speak up, and how to listen. We’re not here to give perfect advice. We’re here to ask better questions. How do we prepare our kids for jobs that don’t exist yet? How do we connect generations in a divided, digital world? What makes someone truly employable in 2025 and beyond? Each episode, we’ll chat with educators, grads, parents, leaders, misfits, mentors, and all-round brilliant people who’ve lived through the stuff that doesn’t come with a textbook. 🎧 Segments include: “Stuff You Can’t Google” - Real-world lessons that only experience (or failure) teaches you. “The Infinite Workday” - Honest chats about burnout, boundaries, and life beyond the 9 to 5. “Wit Picks” - Quick-fire recommendations from our guests on books, habits, tools or people that’ve made a difference. “What We Wish We Knew” – Our guests reflect on what they’d tell their 18-year-old selves. If you’re a parent, a young person starting out, an old-head or experienced leader, or just someone trying to figure out how to be more human in a world full of noise - this one’s for you. Follow us, subscribe, and let’s have the conversations that matter - with a bit of humour, a lot of honesty, and absolutely no corporate jargon. 🧠 Connect with us: https://www.linkedin.com/company/107731497/ LinkedIn: PJ Ellis & Andy Dawson This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement to bring back the human stuff - the wit, the grit, and the graft - in a world obsessed with speed and shortcuts. Let’s get into it.Copyright 2025 PJ Ellis and Andy Dawson
