Cracking the code of hybrid working - Dan Bladen - Kadence
Our guest today is Dan Bladen, the founder of Kadence, an online software helping manage hybrid workspaces.
When I first met Dan in Number 10, he was running his wireless charging business - Chargify - until the pandemic decimated everything he had built.

In this episode, we talk about how Dan pivoted from a hardware business to software, why the current form of hybrid working is doomed to fail and how his faith makes him comfortable with taking risks.
