Inside The Nothing Box — the cabin

Two blokes, ex-corporate, talking nothing and occasionally something.
Banter with purpose. Maybe.

Panners and Turps — hosts of Inside The Nothing Box
Turps (Left) — Panners (Right)

We're just two blokes rambling on about our many years in the corporate world. We mainly talk a lot of nonsense — but occasionally touch on the challenges of working life, how we dealt with them (for good or bad), and how we're adapting to lives of not doing very much.

The Nothing Box is the room men go to when there's nothing to say and everything to think about. We brought ours online. No agenda, no script, no producer in our ear — just two ex-corporate lifers, a microphone, and the kind of conversation that used to happen at the bar after the third drink. Sometimes funny. Sometimes useful. Always honest.

EP. 004

Welcome, Richard Smalley.

In Episode 4, we are delighted to invite our first guest to Inside The Nothing Box, our ex-boss and all round top bloke Richard Smalley. We grill him on his views on leadership, building teams and dealing with life after many years in the corporate world. And, we end up having to evacuate the Nothing Box due to the unbearable aroma of sweaty cheese
