In this episode mum & son duo, Sharon & Declan Williams, discuss what they've been up to including watching BBC's 'The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty' that reminds them of their favourite TV series 'Succession'. They also chat about the potential introduction of a digital sales tax, the big-tech bosses testifying in US congress, embracing change, whether billionaires should exist, how to stigma of working from home is dissipating and more. Sharon also correct Declan as he clearly thinks TV's were around during WW2.
