To wrap up season 2, we are joined by PwC’s Technology Impact leader, Rob McCargow. Rob started out in recruitment and, after transitioning his career into technology, he led PwC’s Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence. He is now recognised as one of the most influential people in UK tech.

How can we inspire and support ex armed forces personnel in their transition to a career in professional services? In this special episode, we spoke to Britain's first female fighter jet pilot, and now leader of PwC’s Center of Transformative Leadership, Jo Salter. Jo shares insights into her incredible journey in the Royal Air Force, how she came to join PwC, and her advice to anyone looking to join the world of professional services.

Prateek Jain, Engineering Manager at Google's LA Office, talks about how he always loved computers, be it writing software or something else. So much so, that he managed a cyber café in his hometown back in the day when the internet was new and he was in college; so that foreigners who would visit Udaipur could benefit from the internet connectivity. Inspired by auto-biographies, he finds it truly fascinating how successful people approach problems and he tries to follow some of the advice from it to rewrite his own successes. He believes if you take pride in your work and love what you're doing, nothing can stop you from attaining success in life.

Jay Worth is an Emmy winner, and not for something small that you haven't seen. He led the visual effects for one of the most visually iconic shows ever: Westworld on HBO. And before that, Person of Interest, Fringe, Alias, Altered Carbon, and many, many more.

But if you met him, you'd never know it. He is friendly, humble and hard-working. Always connecting people and invested in his community. He's not the self-indulged Hollywood stereotype. 

You have to learn about his story from Malibu kid to the hardest workin' guy in VFX.
