Season 1 - First 8 Episodes Recapped!

Author: Stuart Wallis August 7, 2025 Duration: 21:05

Really enjoyed making this recap and looking back on these 8 episodes - incredibly proud of getting this out there, spreading the word. Hope you enjoy it!


We will hear again from Johnny and Matt at What About Ye? Then we move on to talk to Ose, Lauren Rimmer of Construct Change, Tom Chapman, the amazing Paul Stephenson, Sarah Roads, Phil Ridgewell and Nick O'Shea.


Stuart Wallis has spent a career at the intersection of people and industry, and in Hard Hats and Head Space with Stuart Wallis, he brings that entire world to the microphone. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a series of real conversations drawn from Stuart's own network, featuring guests whose experience is as diverse as it is deep. You'll hear from figures in construction and recruitment, sure, but also from unexpected quarters like egg-farming and publishing. Each episode digs into the tangible connections between work, personal wellbeing, and the dynamics of the modern workforce, deliberately sidestepping fluffy jargon and corporate speak. The discussions are grounded, often challenging, and designed to pull practical insight from every story. By focusing on the human elements behind the job titles, this podcast reveals how different paths can offer surprising lessons for leadership, resilience, and finding purpose. Tune in for candid talks that feel more like a coffee with seasoned professionals than a formal interview, always aiming to leave you with a clearer perspective on your own work and headspace.
