Two topics. Against the clock.
James opens with something he has been testing inside his own business and seeing play out across the sales teams he works with. It comes down to why most outreach doesn't land, why the playbook that worked last time won't save you, and what actually happens when you take a first principles approach to building pipeline.
Rich follows with something that frustrates senior candidates at every level — and most businesses don't realise they're doing it. He gets into why the standard recruitment process screens out the best people, and what changes when you flip the whole thing.

Set the chicken. We're on the clock.
