At 15, a young Janie Frampton fell in love—not with a person, but with a sport: football.

In this episode of Greatest Minds, we sit down with Janie Frampton, a trailblazer in the world of football officiating, to discuss her journey from being one of the first female referees in England to becoming an international figure in sports refereeing and advocacy for equality.

Janie shares stories of the challenges she faced breaking into a male-dominated profession, and the barriers that fuelled her determination to succeed. From giving a red card to a hunting party during a match to being part of the first all-female officiating team for a men's professional game, Janie’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

You’ll also get to hear about the unique perspectives referees bring to the game, as well as her thoughts on the state of equality in football today. See the game through the eyes of a woman who’s seen it all!

“What’s your favourite colour?” An overplayed question guaranteed to bring on an eye roll from anyone over the age of six, but we may be underestimating the importance of the answer.

Everything visible has colour, it’s impossible to ignore it. Colour is much more than an aesthetic choice—it’s a powerful tool that can be used to create environments that foster specific emotions and behaviours.

This week on Greatest Minds, we welcome Karen Haller, the leading specialist in colour psychology to discuss the psychological impact of colour on our lives. From the clothes we wear to the spaces we spend time in, colour plays a pivotal role in shaping our emotions, behaviours, and even the way we are perceived by others.

We also learn about Karen’s journey into colour psychology through hat-making, how she applies colour theory to real-world scenarios, and gives tips into how colour can be leveraged to enhance workplace productivity, personal branding, and even mental health.

So, the next time someone asks you what your favourite colour is, you might just pause and think a little deeper.

If you're human, which most listeners likely are, chances are you'll have to work for a living. The average person spends 6-7 hours a day working, totalling about 80,000 hours over a lifetime. Since work is such an important part of our lives, it's crucial to make it a happy experience.

This week on Greatest Minds, we're joined by Nic Marks—statistician, policy adviser, author, and founder & CEO of Friday Pulse. His company specialises in measuring workplace happiness, providing leaders with the insights they need to boost both employee productivity and well-being.

We find out how Nic went from studying statistics at Cambridge to focusing on quality of life and measuring happiness. He discusses the crucial role happiness plays in the workplace, benefiting both employees and employers. We also uncover the key factors that influence workplace well-being (Spoiler Alert: money isn't the most important one.)

There’s no reason you should be praying for the weekend, learn about being happier at work with us!
