Took a long lunch break today to see Alisa Piper talk about her new book, For Life.

@DanBox10 What an incredible moment for him!

Just spoke to Zak Grieve (see pinned tweet). After six months out and 40-odd applications, he’s got his first job. Starts tomorrow. Made me feel proud of him and his employer both
