0:00.0	Welcome to Jimmy's Jobs of the Future. And it's almost like Back to the Future with this episode today.
0:06.8	As we close in on our 200th episodes, we're getting one of our most popular ever guests.
0:12.5	Pip Jameson was the second ever guest to appear on Jimmy's Jobs of the Future.
0:17.6	And it's often been the episode that I've recommended to people to go and listen to
0:21.8	understand more about the future of work than anything else. There are so many bits of that
0:27.3	episode that stuck out of me. Her term of no-collar workers for the creative sector, for the

1:16.8	evolved into a real creative community and how they've been making apps for places like
1:23.2	Soho House and so many others. So there's many nuggets in this episode about the future of community.
1:29.8	It was great to get Pip back on Jimmy's Jobs of the Future.
1:33.3	Make sure you subscribe so we can continue to get bigger and bigger guests.
1:42.7	Pip, welcome back to Jimmy's Jobs for the Future.
1:45.7	Our second ever guest is back.
1:49.3	And I'm re-listened to the episode this week.
1:51.0	And it was, I mean, my gosh, talk about a trip down memory lane.
