Interview Style

Jamie’s interview style is sharp, grounded, and impossible to ignore. he brings a mix of real-world grit and strategic clarity, delivered with a wink. He’s relatable without being rehearsed, direct without being dry, and always ready with a story that lands somewhere between boardroom battle and backroom banter. Expect a healthy dose of irreverent humour, the kind that only comes from someone who’s lived it, lost it, built it back, and now teaches others how to do the same.
