If you missed last Friday Club, here's what you missed 👀

Cotton Works put on a brilliant afternoon and we were lucky enough to be asked to speak, so we brought the cameras along too.

Louie's talk was all about collaboration. That supporting someone else's success has never once ruined anyone's own, and that we could all do with a bit more of that in Wigan.

Easy thing to say. Harder to actually do. But the room last Friday made a decent case for it.

Big thanks to Cotton Works for having us, and to everyone who turned out 🙏

Do you think you could do your bit and put more positive energy out there?

"Americans love the British" 🎙️

Scary reckons there's a connection there that runs deeper than most people realise, something historical that Americans feel far more strongly than we do over here.

Not sure we've ever thought about it that way round.
