Do Recruiters Sell the Dream? | Kieran Griffiths

What happens when the future you had planned disappears and you have to figure out who you are without it? Kieran was on the path towards professional rugby in the UK before surgery changed everything. Still in his twenties, he moved to Dubai, got caught up in the lifestyle and partying, worked for other companies, reset, and eventually went on to build Griffiths & Co. In this episode of Unscripted, we talk about the reality of becoming successful young, what finally pulled him back into line, the challenges of building a business in his twenties, money, ego, identity and the pressure that comes when your name is above the door. We also get into the side of recruitment people don't always talk about: do recruiters sell the dream? Are companies always honest about the opportunities they're offering? And does having made some of the classic Dubai mistakes himself make Kieran better at helping other people shape their careers? A conversation about losing Plan A, growing up, taking responsibility and building something before you've even hit 30.
