Always good to see some proper coverage on the process of recovery. That "double life" is a doozy. Thanks for sharing.

I used cocaine for about three years. I stopped all on my own because I came to realize the only ending would be divorce or death. 95 percent of the time I did it alone. It makes no sense looking back. The only way I can describe it is this: it was like being a rapist and his victim in one body simultaneously.
So regretful but glad it’s over.

Hi, what does the typical career path look like in Tax at EY UK? Thanks.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
