Season 3 Episode 2: Throwback to John taking the piste, latest app news, what will Jonny Gaunt do next?

We are rolling on with episode 2.

In this episode we throw back to the time where John was incapacitated and locked in a Flinder chalet - left to his own devices he pondered life's big questions... and mainly what Jon Gaunt would do next post his exit from Dext. Joined by some friendly faces, Alex Bond Burnett, Pamela Phillips, Luke Streeter and Dave Sellick.

Damon from Employment Hero gives us another 5 minute dose of the benefits of integrated HR, payroll and AI.
