In the final episode of Season 1, Karlton welcomes someone he describes as a "maverick" in the IT Channel - Andrew Dickens, Director of Product Management at Misco.

Andrew takes Karlton through his upbringing and education, and how that shaped his first steps when looking for a career - including undertaking three degrees at university - and how he ultimately ended up working in the Channel (with his current role being down to Karlton's advocacy... according to Karlton!)

Karlton recalls the first time he met Andrew, and how their work and personal relationships grew over time. The pair discuss some of the influential figures they've both crossed paths within their time, and how they see certain attributes rub off on others around them.

Andrew reflects on what's motivated him in his career, and how his family and competitive nature keep driving him forward at each step, before being put on the spot to come up with words he would use to describe himself personally and professionally, as well as the words colleagues would use to describe him.

Karlton talks Andrew through the reaction from those around him when he got his cancer diagnosis, and how the closeness of the sector shone through during his toughest challenge to date. The pair then ponder what legacy they each might leave behind, and how ultimately family is at the heart of everything they do.
