This week's NABS Podcast guest is Julian Douglas, global CEO at VCCP and a vocal advocate for mental wellness in the advertising industry.

The instigator of the Pitch Positive Pledge during his tenure as IPA president, Julian is a changemaker with a down-to-earth approach to mental wellness, as well as a huge enthusiasm for the ad industry. Julian also loves to learn and might inspire you to enrol on a free NABS course.

Julian talks to host Louise Scodie frankly about his experience of redundancy and how that's informed his mindset.  

Julian is also co-founder of Lucky Voice, the karaoke bar, and reveals his current favourite song to sing in this episode. 

Key takeaways:

• Policies need to be activated to drive forward change - something NABS highlighted in our All Ears community consultation 
• Boundaries and self-care are your essential foundation to maintain mental wellness in our fast-paced world
• How to check if your company is signed up to the Pitch Positive Pledge and what to do if it's not being put into practice
