from Business Essentials · host SoundCartel

Just how important is networking in the age of AI - and what's the business case for environmental investing? Two business thinkers weigh in on these timely themes in this week’s episode. First, Roxanne Calder of EST10 Recruitment explains why genuine human connection matters more than ever in an AI-driven hiring landscape. She shares practical tips for building authentic relationships through curiosity, generosity and “micro touches” - and the biggest networking mistakes to avoid. Then, Elio D’Amato, co-founder and executive director of EnviroInvest, outlines why environmentally conscious investing is no longer just ethical, but a compelling long-term investment case.
