Our guests need no introduction- Ben Francis & Noel Mack are the founder and Chief Brand Officer of Gymshark.  Setting up their HQ in the Midlands, Gymshark is one of the most exciting brands in the UK and is now valued at over £1 billion.  Ben and Noel would be the first to admit that traditional schooling and academia did not suit their strengths and neither left school with great results- but it didn’t stop them from becoming a success. This episode will delve into Ben’s first time meeting the Prime Minister, where he thinks the jobs of the future are coming from and the biggest disasters they’ve had at Gymshark.  We hope this leaves you with inspiration and advice on how to start your career- or simply piques your interest in the future of the UK economy.  --------------- Follow us on socials!

How to Talk to AI: Prompting, Bias, Creativity, and the Hidden Risks of Chatbots In this episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Jamie Bartlett returns to discuss his book How to Talk to AI and why the real challenge is not just prompt engineering techniques but learning to ask good questions, spot loaded premises, and stay a critical thinker when faced with fluent machine answers. We explore how small changes in framing can radically change outputs, how language mastery can become a key career advantage, and how models can mirror biases and create personalised echo chambers. While warning about delusions, manipulation, jailbreaks, and over-reliance (like summarising instead of learning), Jamie highlights strong use cases in creativity, writing support, and potential low-cost therapy via specialised small models. We also cover workplace “AI slop,” the productivity paradox, and rising fraud risks from voice cloning and persuasive scams. 00:00 Intro 00:54 Prompt Engineering Debate 03:57 Linguistic Mastery 05:20 Genie Prompts Gone Wrong 07:43 Crypto Question Example 09:40 Inside The Semantic Universe 11:35 Echo Chambers And Bias 13:41 Creative Superpowers 16:12 Therapy And Coaching Potential 19:08 Rising Expectations And Risks 20:03 Sponsor Break 20:42 Overreliance And Outsourcing Thinking 22:31 Summaries Versus Learning 23:13 AI Everywhere In Life 23:43 Perfect Partner Prompt 25:19 When Chatbots Feel Shallow 26:27 Bureaucracy And AI Slop 27:52 Productivity Paradox Explained 29:55 Using AI For Writing 31:39 Language As Superpower 33:41 Leveling Up Communication 35:28 Trust Collapse And Analog 37:23 Voice Clones And Fraud ********** Follow us on socials!

Jamie Bartlett| Internet Subcultures and the Social Media Rage Machine Jimmy interviews writer and podcaster Jamie Bartlett about his hard-to-define career researching internet culture, subcultures, and online-driven movements, shaped by early work at Demos and a fascination with being an early “expert” on emerging online worlds like the darknet. Bartlett explains how he gains access to difficult contributors through detective-like research and by maintaining fairness and integrity, avoiding overt political positioning to reach audiences across outlets including the BBC, Telegraph, Guardian, Spectator, and varied podcasts. They discuss how algorithms reward emotion, distort perceptions of public opinion, and turn politics into clip-farming, while long-form podcasts can restore deeper listening. Bartlett outlines ingredients of successful narrative podcasts and recounts key series: The Missing Cryptoqueen, Believe in Magic, and A Very British Cult, emphasizing relatable victims, twists, and translating complex tech risks for mainstream audiences, plus the importance of timing for story impact. 00:00 Intro 00:52 Defining Jamie’s Work 01:54 Origins in Internet Subcultures 03:22 From Darknet to Explainers 05:36 Early Jobs and Demos 06:58 EDL Facebook Research Hack 08:13 Getting Access and Trust 10:20 Journalism Labels and Integrity 11:41 Algorithms Reward Emotion 13:12 Staying Politically Neutral 17:06 Politics as Clip Culture 18:38 Echo Chambers and Crisis Addiction 21:25 Why Longform Podcasts Win 22:12 Studio Set Complaints 22:40 Producer Ad Break 23:16 Hit Podcasts Breakdown 25:03 Ingredients of Great Storytelling 28:18 OneCoin Origin Story 29:44 Career Defining Burden 31:41 Inside a British Cult 33:36 Status and Belonging 39:47 Timing Beats Being First 43:00 AI and Jobs Next Wave Learn more about your ad choices.

He reflects on his first jobs (paper round, supermarket night shifts, dishwasher at Edinburgh’s Viva Mexico, Fringe work), his path into politics, and how social media and 24-hour news have changed government and debate. McFadden outlines new incentives for employers: £3,000 to hire a young person on Universal Credit for six months and £2,000 for small firms taking on young apprentices, which can total £5,000. He addresses youth sickness and mental health, arguing support should focus on improving life outcomes and work opportunities, and shares a cautiously optimistic view of AI as both job-destroying and job-creating.

Will Storr on Status Games: Politics, Podcasts, Storytelling, and the Future of AI In the second half of Jimmy’s Jobs to the Future with author Will Storr, they discuss how status works in practice, from status signals inside Number 10 (proximity, key meetings, and especially influence) to modern politics as entertainment and the media’s “gotcha” incentives that push politicians toward soundbites. Storr argues social media amplifies status games and notes similar “flame wars,” cancellation, and pronoun debates existed on an early online network, The WELL. They explore how status shifts with age, why self-control and conscientiousness predict professional success, and why being easy to work with matters (including why Nigel Farage is easy to book). Storr explains how Marco Pierre White made chefing high status, influencing Gordon Ramsay and British food culture, reflects on appearing on Rogan, Diary of a CEO, and Modern Wisdom, and discusses AI’s impact on writing and the growing importance of distinctive author brands.

Why do humans care so much about what other people think? This week on Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, Jimmy sits down with bestselling author and journalist Will Storr to explore one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives: status. Will has spent years investigating the hidden psychological forces that drive human behaviour. In this conversation, he explains why our brains are wired to seek status, why we constantly misjudge how status works in modern society, and how these instincts shape everything from work and politics to social media and success. They also dive into Will’s career as a journalist and storyteller, how his reporting led him deep into the science of human behaviour, and the ideas behind his latest work on status and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Expect a conversation about human psychology, ambition, storytelling, and the invisible rules that govern social hierarchies - and why understanding them might change how you see the world. ********** Follow us on socials!
