This week we are talking about Ecosia and the Amazon being on fire. The hashtag #CharitySoWhite was trending on Twitter - we talk about that. And there’s a new food-sharing platform that we should probably tuck into. Pun 100% intended. 

And we have a great guest with us today!

Michal Wisniewski from Flock, a #HR #tech #startup that recently completed the #LisbonChallengeAccelerator.

Flock’s mission is to help people find their calling at work. They help businesses to raise performance by aligning core values and motivations within organisations.
