Happy new year and welcome to the first podcast release of 2023.
If you've come across Jaz Ampaw-Farr before, you'll know that you are in for an absolute treat.
And if you haven't ever heard Jaz speak before - well, what can I say?
I could tell you that Jaz is an award-winning educator, teacher trainer, coach and speaker, and soon to be author of her first book. But that doesn't really scratch the surface.
I've really enjoyed listening back to this episode in the edit. It was noticeable that Jaz made me laugh more than any podcast guest had ever done. And as I mention at one point, she also brought me to the edge of tears on at least five occasions. But really I think it's her burning sense of moral purpose, combined with an uncanny way with words and crystal clarity of her thought, that makes Jaz such a formidable human being.
So whatever you're doing as you listen to this podcast, I invite you to mentally and emotionally strap yourself in. This is quite the roller-coaster.
I hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation with fearless chaos navigator, full-fat resilience ninja and previously underestimated everyday hero, Jaz Ampaw-Farr.
