Thanks so much for joining us on Desk Jobs & Glory! We’re thrilled to have you on the podcast — this is a relaxed, behind-the-scenes conversation about the real challenges (and occasional triumphs) of getting meaningful work done inside big, complex organisations.

 Here’s what you need to know:

🎙️About 

Desk Jobs & Glory is where quietly brilliant product, innovation, digital and transformation leaders share how they actually got things done inside big business. You’ll hear about the ‘how behind the wow’: honest stories of smart decisions, painful detours, and the big wins no one clapped for.

Each episode shares how smart people get ambitious things done inside complex systems — and how they survive the process.

Real inside stories of big orgs making big bets, and discovering what works and what really doesn’t inside the ever complex, challenging and dynamic beast of large enterprise.

Hosted by two unlikely partners — Sarah McKenna (Australian, blunt in the best way) and & Sean Sankey (from Liverpool, no-nonsense and just cheeky enough)  — Desk Jobs & Glory gives you exclusive access to Wayv Hello’s global clients and community.

 🕒 Timing & Format

Recording Time: 60 minutes (air time will be 30-45 mins)

• Recording Platform: We use Riverside.fm, which works best on Google Chrome (desktop only). No need to create an account — we’ll send you a private link before the session.
• Style: Super informal and conversational. Think storytelling, not panel discussion. We’re more interested in your experiences than polished answers.

🎧 Tech Setup

To make sure the audio sounds great, here’s what we recommend:

• Use a laptop or desktop (no phones/tablets).
• Use Google Chrome only (Riverside doesn’t play well with Safari).
• Plug in headphones or a headset mic to avoid echo.
• If possible, find a quiet room with minimal background noise.
• Good lighting is a must, facing you, not behind you.
• Riverside records locally, which means your audio is high quality even if the internet is glitchy — just stay on the page until the recording uploads at the end.

✅ Before the Recording / Next Steps

 💬 Topics & Flow

We keep things loose, but here are a few themes we might explore:

• A real challenge you’ve faced (and what happened next)
• How you’ve led change, transformation, or delivery inside a big org
• What you’ve learned about people, process, politics — and what you’d do differently now
• Tools, mindset shifts, or frameworks you swear by

We can send a few starter questions in advance, you can check out this future episode guide for ideas — or just free-flow on the day. Totally up to you.

That’s it!

Any questions, email us here. Want to speak in person, book time here.

We’re really looking forward to the conversation.
