Ep 38: James and Chance - The Bridge of Hope

Neurodiversity with Theo Smith

Today I am lucky to have James and Chance on the show.

MEET JAMES ► A ‘corporate refugee’ - formerly a senior international executive at Diageo, Bass and Omnicom – but lost (almost) everything due to a combination of bad luck, bad people and undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

MEET Chance ►The Guy That Turned His Life Around, Employed And Runs His Own Business
After losing his sister to Cancer, he had a mental breakdown which led to heavy use of drugs and alcohol. His life became reckless. And before he knew it, his life had spiraled out of control and he woke up one day, sat in a prison cell, alone, and with a prison term ahead of him.

Today we hear their story and why their mission is to make ALL employment inclusive employment.

Why? Because everyone deserves the right to employment, and they were denied that right!
Today we discuss:

* The extraordinary challenging backgrounds and experiences of Chance and James

* How they use their lived experiences to help and support others
