A free audio podcast hosted by British entrepreneur, Lewis Maleh.
At a time when a lot of us feel tired by the daily onslaught of grim news, and our phone stops us from having meaningful conversations, DTOYP! takes you on a different journey.

Our subject is the world, life and human experiences. Discover something incredible - DTOYP!
According to the recent 2022 Global Talent Trends report from LinkedIn, companies are responding to the new way employees want to work:
👉 Increased flexibility. 👉 Focus on well-being.
The increase in the amount of times these words appear in company posts is incredible.
Let’s hope the reality is the same.
If these aren’t met, people are voting with their feet...Let the rethinking begin.
Lewis Maleh shares his views.
Employers in New York City will have to include the minimum and maximum starting salary for any advertised job, promotion or transfer opportunity.
(Under a new law passed by the New York City Council which will go into effect in April 2022, if not vetoed.)
This will be a game changer on many levels for both job seekers and employers.
Lewis Maleh shares his views.
If you missed the video of Better.com CEO Vishal Garg firing 900 employees on Zoom, here it is.
My take-a-way from this story is that culture is everything!
I hope companies grab the opportunity to re-fresh and upgrade theirs with both hands this coming year.
It's at the top of everyone's xmas list!

We hear why he decided to pursue this sector, what makes his app stand out compared to others, and how he has gone about growing his business, the challenges of finding investors.
