He has worked with the National Health Service (NHS), the Police and schools up and down the country, to help people to make better decisions. And through the subtle art of digital persuasion, he has improved lives and reduced pressure on our public services.
In today’s show, we sit down with Gary to discuss being proactive and how we all have the freedom to choose.
