## Resource

Sophie Devonshire & Victoria Fox join Emma Harris to unpack the intense pressure and overwhelm that's gripping our industry. We're talking about how rapid tech advancements, relentless ambition, and the sheer force of capitalism have created a "velocity vortex." Plus, we're diving deep into the lasting impact of COVID-19, how it's fuelled our fears, and why we're all struggling to adapt emotionally and operationally. Hosted on Acast.
