In the final episode of Season 1, Karlton welcomes someone he describes as a "maverick" in the IT Channel - Andrew Dickens, Director of Product Management at Misco.

Andrew takes Karlton through his upbringing and education, and how that shaped his first steps when looking for a career - including undertaking three degrees at university - and how he ultimately ended up working in the Channel (with his current role being down to Karlton's advocacy... according to Karlton!)

Karlton recalls the first time he met Andrew, and how their work and personal relationships grew over time. The pair discuss some of the influential figures they've both crossed paths within their time, and how they see certain attributes rub off on others around them.

Andrew reflects on what's motivated him in his career, and how his family and competitive nature keep driving him forward at each step, before being put on the spot to come up with words he would use to describe himself personally and professionally, as well as the words colleagues would use to describe him.

Karlton talks Andrew through the reaction from those around him when he got his cancer diagnosis, and how the closeness of the sector shone through during his toughest challenge to date. The pair then ponder what legacy they each might leave behind, and how ultimately family is at the heart of everything they do.

In the penultimate episode of Season 1, Karlton sits down with SCC's General Manager Distribution and Vendor Relationships, Chris Leng.

Having only met Chris on a handful of occasions prior to the podcast, Karlton was keen to dive into Chris' past, including a 'previous life' in the UK's first manufactured boyband, Upside Down, before making his way into the IT Channel after the band hung up their mics.

Chris reflects on his learnings from his first career, and how they allowed him to enter his new career with confidence - ultimately helping him find what he believes his true calling in life to be.

The pair discuss the nature of the IT Channel when it comes to relationships and travel, before looking into what it means to be happy and kind - two words that are at the heart of everything that both Chris and Karlton do.

Chris contemplates what his legacy may be, looking back on times when he's had a chance to lead and advise as a mentor, and the impact he hopes he's made on those around him.

Karlton's next guest in the studio is good friend and Paris marathon running-mate Steve Heyd-Smith, Managing Director at Integrated Tech.

Steve talks Karlton through his childhood, living on the Bedfordshire/Northamptonshire border, and how he and school weren't necessarily the perfect pairing.

Looking back on his career, Steve reflects on how he got started in the IT Channel, the various roles he took on, and how he ultimately came to create Integrated Tech - including the technicalities, intricacies and difficulties of setting up and running a new business.

The pair reminisce on taking part in the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon together, and how Steve motivates himself through running (not as regularly as he'd hope, though!)

Karlton gets Steve to reflect on himself personally and professionally, coming up with three words he'd use to describe himself, before finding out what legacy he'd like to leave behind.
