If you’re building a career, leading a team or thinking about your next move, it helps to hear how other people have found their way.

On What It Took, Tom Smith sits down with leaders in connected TV to explore the personal and professional journeys behind their success.

Hear about the first breaks, unexpected opportunities, difficult decisions and setbacks that shaped their careers, and the people who made a difference. Each conversation explores what they learned along the way, how those experiences influence the way they lead today and what they think comes next.

You might recognise a challenge you’re facing, hear an idea you can put into practice or take some encouragement from someone else’s experience. And sometimes, you’ll simply hear a great story that stays with you.
