We dug a bonus episode of Bold Thinking out of our vaults this week. Julia Leckey spoke with Dan Buckingham late last year, while he was still at Virgin Atlantic (and before he joined Honest by Principle). They spoke about the potential for travel and hospitality post lockdown and his own career highs and lows so far. As Heathrow airport announces that June 2021 was its busiest month since March 2020, now feels like the right time to resurrect this episode. Share your comments on Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn.
