Randal Smith, Managing Director of Veny

Randall Smith is a true leader.
This episode embodies everything that is involved with management and leadership and in all honesty, the sole reason I started the podcast in the first place.
We discussed in-depth, his 20-year forces career and all the lessons from his time there.
This is a great episode for anyone who has worked in the forces and transferred into Civvy Street.
It is also a fantastic episode for anyone wanting to learn how a good leader thinks, and drives teams to high performance.
We delve into the growing world of EV and what he did at Jaguar Land Rover and the exciting plans he has in his new role as managing director of VENY.
I hope you enjoy
