Jack and Jill: AI Agents Rewiring Hiring and Job Search

Jimmy interviews Matthew Wilson, founder of Jack and Jill, about how AI is worsening recruitment noise by automating mass applications and outbound recruiting, making traditional CV-based signaling less effective. 

Matt explains Jack and Jill’s two AI agents: Jack helps individuals find and prepare for “dream jobs” through deep voice-based profiling, job matching, interview practice, and salary benchmarking (free for users), while Jill helps companies hire by capturing nuanced role needs and matching against Jack’s user network; the company has 350,000 users and thousands of companies, mainly across London, San Francisco, and New York. 

Matt shares his background (Yorkshire Dales, Oxford, inspiration from a Batley-based startup), building Omnipresent (remote employment infrastructure later sold to Deel), and lessons on competitive advantage. 

They discuss early-career guidance, AI tool literacy, major white-collar work changes, Jevons paradox, small high-talent teams, transparent high pay, and hiring via paid trial days and networks.

Will AI Kill White-Collar Jobs? | Matthew Wilson, Jack&Jill CEO

Sara Davies on Changing Dragon’s Den, Building a Personal Brand, and Why Small Business Is Tougher Than Ever

Jimmy welcomes Sara Davies as the first “Dragon” guest on Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, discussing how she brought a more empathetic, collaborative approach to Dragon’s Den by refusing to be “more dragon-y” and staying true to herself. 

Sara explains how her confidence grew over six years on the show, how her investing prioritizes working with entrepreneurs and impact over pure returns, and the questions she asks founders about why an idea might not work and who their real competitors are. 

She contrasts hiring versus investing criteria, emphasizing cultural fit, non-verbal communication, and surrounding yourself with complementary skills. Sara also shares her personal branding process, her approach to BHAGs and thinking time, and how she uses AI to condense her own ideas rather than generate generic posts. 

She also covers content strategy, the challenges facing small businesses amid Brexit, the pandemic, and economic pressures, and highlights memorable Den deals and lessons.

Sara Davies: Why Now Is the Toughest Time to Run a Business

This is the second part of our interview with Ed Conway, Sky News Economics Editor, author of Trade World and Material World. The first part is out on all platforms.

----

Ed Conway on Trade Wars, Bread Monocultures, and the Fragile Supply Chains Behind Modern Life

Sky News Economics editor Ed Conway discusses his book Trade World, based on two years of research into how bread, cars, and textiles are made and traded, arguing globalization has made goods cheaper by concentrating production into a few places, creating dangerous vulnerabilities. He highlights monocultures in crops such as wheat and bananas, focusing on the wheat disease UG99 and how industrial bread relies on just one or two wheat varieties, drawing parallels to the Gros Michel banana collapse and risks to the Cavendish.

This is the first part of our interview with Ed. The second part drops later this week.

Ed Conway, Part 1: How the West Accidentally Built Its Greatest Competitor

Georgia Harrison on Revenge Porn, Changing the Law, and the Real Work Behind Being an Influencer

This week, Georgia joins Jimmy to describe her work as a celebrity campaigner, author, and influencer, and explains why creating content is a real job that requires research, editing, trend awareness, and constant posting across platforms. 

She recounts how a former boyfriend filmed her without consent and sold the footage online, leading her to waive anonymity, take him to court, and campaign to remove the “intent to cause distress” loophole in the 2015 revenge porn law, work that earned her an MBE. 

Georgia says current rules still fail victims, calling for faster takedowns than 48 hours, a “kill switch” system, stronger enforcement on tech companies, and action on the rise of intimate image abuse and manosphere content. 

She and Jimmy also discuss motherhood, online trolling in politics, LinkedIn’s professional benefits, and taking risks despite embarrassment.

From Love Island To Downing Street: How Georgia Harrison Reinvented Her Career

What happens when Downing Street texts on a Sunday asking if you can interview the Prime Minister two days later?

In this special episode of Jimmy vs the Producers, Jimmy sits down with growth leads Aggie and Annabel, alongside producer Thuy, to unpack the whirlwind behind our Andy Burnham interview.

Aggie and Annabel ask Jimmy how the opportunity compared with interviewing Tony Blair and Keir Starmer, what went into preparing for the conversation in just 48 hours, and why this felt like an “Olympic medal moment” for the show. 

Thuy then turns the tables on Jimmy to discuss how they first connected through LinkedIn, how a one-day-a-week university placement became a full-time producing role, and how relationships and social capital can compound into career-changing opportunities.

This episode is supported by LinkedIn.

Jimmy vs the Producers: How We Interviewed Andy Burnham at No.10 in 48 Hours

Inside Number 10: Jimmy on Tim Cook, getting a wedding letter from Theresa May, and Starting Jobs of the Future

We decided to swap the seats this week: Jimmy is the guest. He went on The Independent's In The Room to talk about the three years he spent deciding who got through the door of Number 10 and what that taught him about how people actually get hired.

Helen MacNamara, the former Deputy Cabinet Secretary, and Cleo Watson, former special adviser to Theresa May and Boris Johnson, run a summer series called Lessons from Number 10 - what it's really like to work behind that black door.

Jimmy worked with both of them. Which, given this show spent the last month asking how you get in the room when you know nobody, is a fairly on-the-nose demonstration of the answer.


In this conversation: what the Prime Minister's Business Director actually does all day, why Number 10 has no floor plan and what that does to a new starter, how he got entrepreneurs into the building instead of the companies with big lobbying teams, what business consistently misunderstands about government and the other way round, why bringing business leaders into politics so often doesn't work, the trade trips and the logistics of losing CEOs in foreign countries, and the day it all stopped being fun.

Also: the origin story of this podcast. A question Theresa May asked him one
morning about where jobs actually come from - and why he's been trying to answer it ever since.

Thanks to Helen, Cleo and the team at In The Room for letting us play this here.


Their show is at @intheroom.pod, and it's part of The Independent Podcast
Network, produced with Next Chapter Studios.

Jimmy's Jobs of the Future is a show about work, careers and how people actually get hired - long-form interviews with the people who do the hiring.

Next week: Jimmy vs the Producers, on Andy Burnham interview.

[SPECIAL]  When the world's most powerful CEOs enter Downing Street

AI, Sovereign Compute, and the Future of Family Business in the UK | Steve Rigby on Jobs of the Future

In 2026, Steve Rigby joins Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future to discuss why AI adoption in large companies will be slower than hype suggests because it requires difficult process transformation plus governance and security, while SMEs can move faster with low barriers to entry. He argues the UK is behind on preparing society and government for disruption, citing data that 39% of MPs have never used AI and calling for a multi-department “war footing,” including urgent AI data-center expansion and sovereign compute backed by government offtake. Rigby explains his role as chair of Family Business UK, the impact of new 20% tax charges on intergenerational transfers, and why the UK incentivizes selling businesses over long-term ownership. He outlines the Rigby Group’s scale, family succession planning, his philanthropy and education programs, and his efforts to influence policy via media, LinkedIn, and a new podcast.

The Real Threat to Your Career Isn't AI | Steve Rigby, Rigby Group CEO

Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Youth Unemployment, Work Shadowing, and the Future of Work | Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future



Thanks to LinkedIn for partnering on this episode. Learn more about how the UK labour market is changing in the age of AI in LinkedIn’s latest report: ⁠https://lnkd.in/labour-market-report⁠ 



In a special early interview at 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Andy Burnham joins Jimmy to discuss why too many young people are struggling to get their first break, and what government, employers and senior leaders can do about it.



Reflecting on his own journey from an unpaid local newspaper reporter to Prime Minister, Andy explains why family connections often matter more than qualifications, why work shadowing can transform a young person's confidence, and why every leader should help open the door for someone without an established network.



They also discuss the future of education, apprenticeships, AI, recruitment, social capital and why Britain needs to value technical careers as much as university degrees. Andy shares what he looks for when hiring, why creativity and communication remain essential skills in the age of AI, and the leadership lessons that have shaped his career.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

This week, a special crossover episode: Jimmy's Jobs of the Future meets What We Don't Know.

Check out What We Don't Know here

Hayaatun Sillem, host of What We Don't Know, spent eight years as CEO of the Royal Academy of Engineering - the first woman, and the first person in over two decades, to hold the role. Before that: 8 years of biochemistry, a walkout from the lab that ended her PhD overnight, and a stint advising Parliament on everything from forensic science to carbon capture. 

She also co-chaired Lewis Hamilton's commission on the representation of Black people in UK motorsport, and is now a founding trustee of his charity, Mission 44.

In this conversation, Jimmy and Hayaatun cover the moment people mistook her for anyone but the CEO, the leadership skill she thinks is most underrated, the decision to leave a job she loved while she was still doing her best work, and why she thinks "more jazz than classical" is the only way to lead through uncertainty now.

SheerLuxe Founder on Hiring, Creator-Led Media & Selling the Business for £40M

Jimmy interviews Georgie Coleridge Cole about building SheerLuxe over nearly two decades into a creator-led digital media business, what she looks for when hiring (culture add, broadcasters/curators/tastemakers), and how the company is structured across editorial, social, content, design, marketing, commercial, and video teams with around 100 staff and strong retention. 

She explains SheerLuxe’s approach to new channels using gut instinct, prioritizing engagement and the right content “order” by platform, and a people-first model that drives trust and monetization. 

Georgie details early fundraising before the financial crisis, becoming profitable within about three years, and maintaining disciplined growth. She discusses launching Blush Talent Management to manage internal and external talent, and reflects on selling SheerLuxe to Future for £40M, why she publicized the number, and what she wants to focus on next, including education, ex-offending initiatives, and support for under-16 social media restrictions.

Amazon’s Upskilling Push: Career Choice, Skilled Hiring, and Supported Internships

At a new Amazon fulfillment center, Amazon UK & I Country Manager John Boumphrey discusses job announcements, hiring needs, and major upskilling efforts, including the Career Choice program that funds nationally recognized qualifications up to £3,000 a year in the UK, training about 30,000 people in the UK and 300,000 globally, with a planned $1B investment by 2030 to train an additional 500,000 people. 

He explains employees often retrain for tech and hard-to-hire roles such as mechatronics for increasingly robotic warehouses, and describes a skills gap despite 1 million under-24s in the UK not in education or training. John details ongoing UK hiring and investments, including new sites in Northampton and Peterborough and a previously announced £14B UK investment. 

John emphasizes work experience, communication, teamwork, and reflection, highlights Supported Internships for young people with learning disabilities and autism, and shares his executive hiring approach focused on evidence-based examples and continuous learning.

Amazon: The Plan to Get 30,000 People Into Work

Tom Kerridge on Why UK Restaurants Are Failing: Rising Costs, VAT the Problem, and the Fight to Save Hospitality



Watch the full documentary: https://youtu.be/LKaEiZ5TE5Q

At Tom Kerridge’s Whitehall restaurant, we explores why UK hospitality is struggling despite strong demand: rising utility bills, food inflation, minimum wage and national insurance increases, and business rates have eroded already thin margins, contributing to three hospitality closures a day across an industry involving 4.5 million people.

Tom explains his hiring priorities and outlines London kitchen pay ranging from over £40k to six figures in senior roles. He argues government support that helped during COVID (furlough, VAT reduction) has vanished, calls for hospitality to have its own dedicated ministry, and criticizes Labour’s communication and lack of action on VAT.

He also discusses how TV and commercial work subsidizes his five restaurants and shares his journey to sobriety at 40 after years of extreme drinking.

Tom Kerridge REVEALS What Destroys the Hospitality Industry

Lord Matthew Elliott on Vote Leave, Modern Campaigning, AI Microtargeting, and the Jobs Foundation

Jimmy interviews Lord Matthew Elliott, former Vote Leave CEO and author of “Ten Years On,” about building and running political campaigns, recruiting and developing talent, and measuring success through objectives, media impact, and interim targets. 

Elliott contrasts traditional campaigning with today’s faster, noisier, social-driven landscape, describing Vote Leave’s use of polling, fundraising, Facebook/Google ads, and the iconic bus tour with Boris Johnson, plus the operational roles behind it. 

He discusses how AI and data-driven microtargeting, especially in the US, could reshape elections, and predicts more short-lived single-issue campaigns. Elliott reflects on Brexit’s effects, arguing the UK avoided “Project Fear” outcomes and has performed comparatively well versus some European economies. 

He also shares his adult autism diagnosis, links it to his focus and work, highlights low autistic employment rates, and outlines the Jobs Foundation’s mission to promote business-led jobs, training, and pro-growth policy.

Brexit Made Us Poorer? Think Again | Vote Leave CEO Lord Elliot

Nihal Arthanayake: From Radio 1 to Corporate Storytelling - Class, Diversity & the BBC’s Blind Spots

Nihal Arthanayake, former BBC Radio 1 presenter, joins Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future to trace his career, from promoting rap nights at 16 and fronting Collapsed Lung to being dropped by a major label and pivoting into music journalism and PR before becoming a Radio 1 DJ in 2002. 

Nihal explains how radio shifted from gatekeeping to curating as social media and algorithms changed music discovery, and recounts his 23 years across Radio 1, Asian Network and 5 Live, including planning his exit and ultimately being engineered out after speaking out.

He argues the BBC’s biggest bias is class, says it “lies about diversity,” keeps people of color in boxes, and fears the Daily Mail more than ideological labels suggest. 

We also discuss interview craft, his book on conversation, and how doing stand-up comedy increased his confidence.

The TRUTH About The BBC | Nihal Arthanayake, Former BBC Radio 1 Presenter

Jimmy Wales on Wikipedia, Trust, and AI’s Disruptive Future

This week's guest, Jimmy Wales, discusses how Wikipedia grew from an experimental, volunteer-edited side project spun out of the failed top-down Nupedia, from early “Hello, world” days and primitive accounts to organic traffic and press, and now a nonprofit with about 650 staff supporting tech, operations, fundraising, legal, and trust-and-safety while volunteers govern content. 

Jimmy explains why he wrote a book on trust amid documented declines in trust in institutions, contrasting Wikipedia’s imperfect but “honest” reputation and open editing model, and argues trust fundamentals are timeless, advising young workers to build trust through reliability and teamwork while rejecting toxic workplaces. 

We also cover Change My View’s collaborative culture, rising wealth inequality and risks of regulatory capture, concerns about misguided regulation like the UK Online Safety Act, AI’s varied benefits and copyright-policy dangers, looming job disruption (truckers, junior lawyers) and potential unrest, and how Jimmy experiments with agentic AI projects and practical automation while emphasising knowledge, history, and adaptability.

Jimmy Wales: What Happens When Nobody Trusts Anybody?

How Adobe Quietly Powers the World (and the AI Fight for Creators)This episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future visits Adobe’s London headquarters to explore how Adobe’s influence extends beyond Photoshop and PDFs into marketing technology that powers personalized experiences for major brands and institutions like Tesco, the Premier League, banks, Channel 4, Sky, Disney, and governments. 

VP Simon Morris explains Adobe’s creative, document, and marketing solutions, how customer data is unified to deliver tailored communications, and highlights a campaign recreating Edvard Munch’s physical brushes as Photoshop tools. The discussion covers Adobe’s UK-wide initiatives, including tools for Women’s FA Cup clubs, the Adobe Digital Academy, and government skills programs. 

Policy lead Stefanie Valdes-Scott addresses AI governance, creator protection, copyright, trust, content attribution via content credentials, and the unresolved tension between AI-enabled creativity and creators’ fear of losing control of their work.

Currys CEO Alex Baldock & Octopus Energy’s Greg Jackson on Retail, Energy, Regulation and AI

Jimmy hosts a panel with Currys CEO Alex Baldock and Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson on how retail and energy drive jobs, growth and prosperity. Baldock outlines Currys’ scale (nearly £10bn sales, 24,000 colleagues) and argues retail employs around 20% of the private sector workforce with rising productivity, but faces policy-driven cost increases, red tape and employment regulation that threaten flexible entry-level jobs. Jackson describes Octopus’ rapid growth (8m UK households, operations in 30 countries), the demerger and valuation of its Kraken platform, and diversification into EV leasing and charging. Both stress competition over heavy regulation, cite inefficiencies and distortions in UK energy pricing, discuss geopolitical risks and electrification, and explain how AI is transforming customer service, operations and energy system optimization.

Zahra shares her first job in a pizza place, an early ambition to become a diplomat blocked by 1990s eligibility rules, and a 22-year career at Andersen Consulting/Accenture before moving to Salesforce. They discuss polling with Focal Data showing 51% of people have received no employer AI training and concerns about a widening digital divide. Zahra explains Salesforce’s focus on enterprise AI grounded in trusted company data with guardrails, the value of a physical AI centre for collaboration, and how she uses an internal AI Slackbot for daily task lists and meeting prep while staying critical and authentic. They cover AI benefits for mid-market firms, a Simplyhealth contact-centre example, and Salesforce’s Future Trailblazers schools program and call for a national “front door” for skills like Trailhead.

Lord Michael Spencer: The Future of Enterprise

Mathieu Flamini | Arsenal, Building a Company & How To Win Like An Athlete

Anthony Scaramucci doesn’t hold back.

From Trump’s obsession with legacy (yes, including the “ballroom” idea) to why Keir Starmer’s strategy with Trump might actually be working, this is a rare insider breakdown of power, ego, and what really happens behind the scenes.

Scaramucci explains:

Why Trump respects King Charles — and what Americans really think of the Royal Family

What the next two years of Trump actually look like (and why it could get messy)

Why people around Trump say one thing publicly… and another privately

The surprising reason Starmer standing up to Trump could be the right move

And the brutal truth about status, ego, and chasing the wrong career

He also reflects on his infamous 11 days in the White House, getting publicly destroyed, and how it changed the way he thinks about success, failure, and building a life you actually want.

If you care about politics, power, or just making smarter decisions in your own career — this one’s packed.

Apprentice Winner - Karishma Vijay

Our guests need no introduction- Ben Francis & Noel Mack are the founder and Chief Brand Officer of Gymshark. 

Setting up their HQ in the Midlands, Gymshark is one of the most exciting brands in the UK and is now valued at over £1 billion. 

Ben and Noel would be the first to admit that traditional schooling and academia did not suit their strengths and neither left school with great results- but it didn’t stop them from becoming a success.


This episode will delve into Ben’s first time meeting the Prime Minister, where he thinks the jobs of the future are coming from and the biggest disasters they’ve had at Gymshark. 


We hope this leaves you with inspiration and advice on how to start your career- or simply piques your interest in the future of the UK economy.

How to Talk to AI: Prompting, Bias, Creativity, and the Hidden Risks of Chatbots

In this episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Jamie Bartlett returns to discuss his book How to Talk to AI and why the real challenge is not just prompt engineering techniques but learning to ask good questions, spot loaded premises, and stay a critical thinker when faced with fluent machine answers. 

We explore how small changes in framing can radically change outputs, how language mastery can become a key career advantage, and how models can mirror biases and create personalised echo chambers. While warning about delusions, manipulation, jailbreaks, and over-reliance (like summarising instead of learning), Jamie highlights strong use cases in creativity, writing support, and potential low-cost therapy via specialised small models.

We also cover workplace “AI slop,” the productivity paradox, and rising fraud risks from voice cloning and persuasive scams.

Jimmy VS Producers | Easter Special

Jamie Bartlett| Internet Subcultures and the Social Media Rage Machine 

Jimmy interviews writer and podcaster Jamie Bartlett about his hard-to-define career researching internet culture, subcultures, and online-driven movements, shaped by early work at Demos and a fascination with being an early “expert” on emerging online worlds like the darknet. 

Bartlett explains how he gains access to difficult contributors through detective-like research and by maintaining fairness and integrity, avoiding overt political positioning to reach audiences across outlets including the BBC, Telegraph, Guardian, Spectator, and varied podcasts. 

They discuss how algorithms reward emotion, distort perceptions of public opinion, and turn politics into clip-farming, while long-form podcasts can restore deeper listening. Bartlett outlines ingredients of successful narrative podcasts and recounts key series: The Missing Cryptoqueen, Believe in Magic, and A Very British Cult, emphasizing relatable victims, twists, and translating complex tech risks for mainstream audiences, plus the importance of timing for story impact.

Pat McFadden on Youth Unemployment, Apprenticeships, and How AI Will Change Work | Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future



Pat McFadden, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, joins Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future to discuss the UK’s youth jobs crisis, with nearly a million young people not in education, employment or training and over half never having had a job, despite 50,000 manufacturing vacancies. He reflects on his first jobs (paper round, supermarket night shifts, dishwasher at Edinburgh’s Viva Mexico, Fringe work), his path into politics, and how social media and 24-hour news have changed government and debate. McFadden outlines new incentives for employers: £3,000 to hire a young person on Universal Credit for six months and £2,000 for small firms taking on young apprentices, which can total £5,000. He addresses youth sickness and mental health, arguing support should focus on improving life outcomes and work opportunities, and shares a cautiously optimistic view of AI as both job-destroying and job-creating.

Tony Blair | Classic Episode

Will Storr on Status Games: Politics, Podcasts, Storytelling, and the Future of AI

In the second half of Jimmy’s Jobs to the Future with author Will Storr, they discuss how status works in practice, from status signals inside Number 10 (proximity, key meetings, and especially influence) to modern politics as entertainment and the media’s “gotcha” incentives that push politicians toward soundbites. 

Storr argues social media amplifies status games and notes similar “flame wars,” cancellation, and pronoun debates existed on an early online network, The WELL. They explore how status shifts with age, why self-control and conscientiousness predict professional success, and why being easy to work with matters (including why Nigel Farage is easy to book). 

Storr explains how Marco Pierre White made chefing high status, influencing Gordon Ramsay and British food culture, reflects on appearing on Rogan, Diary of a CEO, and Modern Wisdom, and discusses AI’s impact on writing and the growing importance of distinctive author brands.

Will Storr Part 2 | Nigel Farage, Gordon Ramsay Crying, and Joe Rogan vs Steven Barlett

Why do humans care so much about what other people think?

This week on Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Jimmy sits down with bestselling author and journalist Will Storr to explore one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives: status.

Will has spent years investigating the hidden psychological forces that drive human behaviour. In this conversation, he explains why our brains are wired to seek status, why we constantly misjudge how status works in modern society, and how these instincts shape everything from work and politics to social media and success.

They also dive into Will’s career as a journalist and storyteller, how his reporting led him deep into the science of human behaviour, and the ideas behind his latest work on status and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.

Expect a conversation about human psychology, ambition, storytelling, and the invisible rules that govern social hierarchies - and why understanding them might change how you see the world.

Meet London’s “Batman”: Diego Galino on Exposing Pickpockets, Street Safety & Going Viral

Support Diego here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-street-filming-against-london-pickpockets

Diego Galdino, a.k.a Pickpocket London, explains how he went from a delivery rider to confronting and filming pickpockets to raise public awareness and help victims. 

After seeing tourists targeted near Buckingham Palace, he launched TikTok and Instagram accounts on 15 July and quickly built a large following by posting daily footage and sharing evidence with police informally. 

He describes worsening street crime after the pandemic, an informal network of riders and shop staff who alert him, and dangerous encounters where he was punched, chased with a stick, and hit with a phone. 

Diego discusses using washable head-ink spray to mark suspects, funding the work through GoFundMe, media appearances, and social monetisation, and why he prefers independence over joining the police.

Kanishka Narayan | Future of AI, From the Inside

In this episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, we sit down with Victor, the co-founder of Synthesia, arguably the biggest technology company you haven't heard of yet. Synthesia is making video creation completely AI automated, and they recently made headlines by becoming the fastest-growing unicorn in the United Kingdom.

Victor joins us to celebrate a massive milestone: raising 200million in a SeriesE round led by GoogleVentures(GV), bringing the company to a 4 billion valuation. We dive deep into the journey of building an AI-native company long before the world was talking about ChatGPT, and what the future holds for the "attention economy".

Key Topics Discussed:

• The Mark Cuban Cold Email: How Victor and his team found Mark Cuban’s email address in a Sony hack data dump
• The Evolution of AI Video
• Hiring "Diamonds in the Dirt": Why Victor avoids "rockstars" from big-name tech logos
• The Future of "AI-Native Video
• Europe vs. Silicon Valley
• Geopolitics & Denmark

About Victor and Synthesia

Synthesia was founded on the idea that AI would reduce the marginal cost of creating content to zero. What started as a research paper by a Stanford professor has turned into a platform that allows average office workers to generate professional videos in seconds, bypassing the need for expensive cameras and studios.

UK media is collapsing - and Joshi Herrmann, founder of The Manchester Mill, believes a completely new model is emerging to replace it.

Joshi returns to Jimmy’s Jobs to explain why legacy outlets are struggling, how AI will flood the internet with personalised content, and why local, narrative-led journalism might be the future of British media. He breaks down The Mill’s rapid expansion into cities like London, Birmingham and Glasgow, the realities of investigative reporting, and the pressures of running a modern newsroom.

We also discuss the rise of “community media”, the mistakes legacy players keep making, how AI can act as a founder’s secret weapon, and why the future of journalism might look more human - not less.

A must-watch for anyone interested in the future of news, tech, community or British culture.

The Future of Politics: Katie Lam’s Journey from Cambridge to No.10

Katie Lam MP joins Jimmy to unpack her remarkable path from teaching herself Latin and Greek at a comprehensive school, to studying Classics at Cambridge, to analysing billion-pound companies at Goldman Sachs - and finally into the heart of political power.

She reveals what really happens inside No.10 during a national crisis, how AI is reshaping high-finance roles like equity research, and why becoming an MP is far more intense than working in government. Katie also reflects on the lasting impact of the pandemic, the expanding expectations placed on the state, and how national security, tech, and politics now collide.

A fast, smart conversation about ambition, public service, and the future of work in Britain.

Billion-dollar deal. Explosive fraud allegations. Extradition. Acquittal. A yacht, a storm… and a tragic ending.

In this episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Katie Prescott, tech correspondent at The Times, takes us inside her new book on Mike Lynch – the brilliant, controversial founder at the centre of Britain’s biggest tech scandal.

Katie explains how Lynch rose from a nurse-and-fireman family to build Autonomy into a multibillion-dollar company, why HP paid $11bn for it, and how that deal spiralled into one of the most complex legal sagas in modern British business. 

She talks about writing the book in the aftermath of his death, what she learned from those who worked closest with him, and why his story still hangs over the UK tech ecosystem today.

Along the way, Jimmy and Katie dig into power in Big Tech, the culture of entrepreneurship, Dragons’ Den, Reggae Reggae Sauce, and what it really takes to report on the people shaping our technological future.

If you want to understand how one tech deal became a decade-long war over truth, power and billions, this conversation is unmissable.

Marketing is broken - and Rory Sutherland is here to fix it.

In this unfiltered episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, legendary ad man Rory Sutherland (Vice Chairman of Ogilvy, TED sensation) returns to dismantle everything you think you know about logic, branding, and business.

Rory dives deep into why rational thinking leads to bad marketing, how companies are ignoring the most powerful tools in psychology, and why irrationality is the ultimate competitive advantage.

Expect riffs on iPhones vs Androids, what government and business get wrong about people, and how comedy, curiosity, and weirdness are the superpowers of great thinkers.

Plus: Rory’s thoughts on neurodiversity, conspiracy theories, alcohol-free beer, tribalism, and why your business probably needs a podcast.

This isn’t just marketing - it’s how the world works.

👀 If you like Rory on Diary of a CEO or his TED talks, this might be his most honest interview yet.

From billion-dollar acquisition offers to clashing philosophies about artificial intelligence, Parmy gives us an insider’s look at:

The founding myths of DeepMind
Why Demis rejected Facebook’s $800M offer
The real difference between Altman’s “move fast” approach and Hassabis’ careful caution
The future of AI jobs and what it means for the next generation
Why journalists (and humans!) are still essential in an AI-powered world

This is the episode if you want to understand who is shaping the future — and what they aren’t telling you.

He’s the voice behind one of The Times' most influential columns, where his reviews can make or break a podcast show.

The reason why podcasts are now driving political agendas.

How US and UK podcasts are vastly different

And how James went from a nobody on Twitter to catching the attention of top journalists at just 23
