Today we cast our thoughts back to Ep 17 with Holly Bennett, all about the unexpected path into political lobbying.

Particularly, we hear Holly's answers to these questions;

  • The truth about lobbying… is it really the dark art and dirty politics it’s made out to be?

  • What it takes to be a professional lobbyist

  • How a beginner can get started with lobbying to those in power and government
