It's a rare and valuable opportunity to have someone deeply immersed in the digital space join the podcast to talk about humanising the numbers. Having Dan Cockerton as a guest on the Humanise the Numbers podcast has been an ambition of mine for the last year or so – and we've finally managed to make it work.

It was a bit of a relief that, when challenged about digital first versus human first, Dan chose human first.

On the podcast, he unpacks and shares his insights of working with individual firms across the profession, as well as his own experience of starting up a new event space, one which had 600 attendees at the first event and more than 5,000 at the fifth. It shows you what's possible when you put your mind to it.

If you want to get deep and meaningful, Dan shares something very personal within this podcast, something that shows how important goal setting is to the success of an individual and to the success of a business.

I really appreciated Dan being so open and candid about this – it was as human as it gets.
