Does having a side hustle make you more productive at work? With Nick Philpot and Riteesh Mishra

Research estimates that one in four of us run at least one business on the side. And, as usual, it seems millennials are the top culprits. For those aged 25-34, over a third are pursuing side projects. So why are so many of us starting a side hustle? Does it distract from our day jobs? Or keep us motivated? Should business be putting its foot down? Or actively encouraging employees to pursue projects on the side? This week, George is joined by our brand new co-host Dara Latinwo. They’re attempting to get to the bottom of this week’s big question, with the help of two guests who know a thing or two about side hustling – Nick Philpot and Riteesh Mishra. Listen in to find out: Nick’s top tips from launching Yolk, a new coffee and breakfast spot How Riteesh balances a career with coaching one of the UK’s most successful women’s football teams What George & Dara think of their very own side hustles The first album George ever bought (it’s what he wanted, what he really really wanted). Hosts: George Parrett and Dara Latinwo Guests: Nick Philpot, founder of Yolk, and Riteesh Mishra, Talent Manager at Deloitte Technical support: Deloitte’s Creative Studio Original music: Ali Barrett
