Recorded live at IHR Live Manchester, Sean Kennedy and Nitin Sharma sit down with talent acquisition leader Jed Shaw for one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast.

Jed shares his experience living with psychosis, including auditory hallucinations, a mental health crisis that led to hospitalisation, and how he rebuilt his life and career afterwards. Despite hearing multiple voices every day, Jed has gone on to become a respected leader, speaker and advocate for neurodiversity in the workplace.

This episode also explores:

✅ Living with psychosis and auditory hallucinations
✅ Neurodiversity in the workplace
✅ Mental health recovery and resilience
✅ How employers can better support neurodivergent employees
✅ Why sharing your story matters
✅ Automation vs AI in talent acquisition
✅ Building a successful career despite adversity

Jed’s story is a powerful reminder that people are capable of far more than a diagnosis, and that understanding creates opportunities for everyone.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health challenges, please remember that support is available and reaching out is a sign of strength.
