Welcome to Good Influence with Gemma Styles!
In each informative episode we meet a different guest, who’ll help us pay attention to something we should know about, but maybe don’t.
Through relaxed, honest and relatable conversations, we learn together what these good influence guests have to teach us on topics from mental health to media representation, confidence to climate.
