If you've ever hired anyone (or attempted to), you know finding the right people can be difficult. If you don't have a direct referral from someone you trust, you're left to use job boards that don't offer any real-world networking approach.LinkedIn, as the world's largest professional network, which is used by more than 70 percent of the US workforce, has a built-in ecosystem that allows you to not only search for employees, but also interact with them, their connections, and their former employers and colleagues in a way that closely mimics real-life communication.

On this episode Debbie talks with artist and writer Lisa Congdon about how she sometimes felt like an imposter.

Rankin is the British photographer, publisher and film director renowned for his portraits of Bowie and Bjork, and for being co-founder of Dazed & Confused. We chatted to the fearless man behind the lens about his fascinating career and were surprised to hear him open up about his childhood, his father, his regrets and mistakes. This is an honest delve into the heart and mind of one of the biggest names in photography.

The Body Coach himself turns up at Fearne's door (they're neighbours, don't you know) to discuss being a father of two, meeting your work goals... and being named GQ's worst dressed of the year.
