Can you be TOO enthusiastic? Some people think so, but Rebecca O’Hare doesn’t that’s for sure.
We got stuck into lots of topics, some hard to listen to;
How an unexpected redundancy turned her life upside down
The loneliness and disappointed she felt during her first year at University, and the impact that has had on her work
Being a pioneer of Res Life in the UK in the Private sector, Universities and CUBO.
The impact of cost of living on the ability for Universities to deliver great extra-curricular activities and support.
The debate around the safety of Trans students on campus and why it’s so polarized.
And yes, we talked about THAT question at the Student Accommodation Conference, and you might be surprised and shocked to hear what happened next…

Ana Lozano, a distinguished architect and urban planner, seamlessly integrates academia and practical expertise.
Her multifaceted career spans architecture, real estate, and innovative AI solutions through Nidus Lab's pioneering work in Generative Architecture.
Ana and I were in different countries and have never met in person, yet having listed back to this episode, we connected on a really deep level. I can’t really explain it, but we both agreed that we could have talked for hours and hours, a big thank you to Chris Holloway for recommending Ana for an episode.
We talked about so many things, and Ana’s opinions on whether people in Student Accommodation should fear AI are fascinating, as well as a very different take on ESG & Sustainability.

“You Would See Some Of The Kids Exhale As They Came In, They Were Safe Now”
People around Tony Ryan say he is authentic and passionate, I would add inspirational to that list. I am so grateful to a previous guest Steve Jones for recommending Tony, as this conversation will stay with me for a long time.
Tony is the CEO of the Design & Technology Association, but his journey to where he is now is definitely not straightforward.
We discussed so much during our time together, including…
· The racism his parents experienced daily and how it made him angry at the world.
· Tony’s own school days that he describes as brutal and a nightmare
· Falling into teaching whilst working as a mechanic and how even though his school days were traumatic, he went into teaching.
· His rapid rise through schools and leadership in schools, and how his heart ruled his head when taking up a role that took him right back to his childhood.
· How Apple invited him to LA to show him what they could so with education.
· And the one thing he never told his mum…
As always, I asked Tony to recommend a future guest, and he recommended Bill Williams, we look forward to recording an episode with you soon Bill.

“I was on holiday, Iliya phoned me and said, are you sitting down?”
He doesn’t like talking about his legacy (but I made him anyway), but David Tymms certainly has created one in Student Accommodation, so I was delighted that he joined me on the latest episode of Know Your Shift
Growing up in Africa until the age of 10 and then suddenly thrust into a new life
His career growth via different Universities and the boss that really inspired him
The shock news of the iQ & Prodigy Living merger
The transition period during the sale of iQ to Blackstone and why he took a different path to other Senior colleagues
Being able to choose his projects, including his role with QX
And finally being able to say what he wants… and he definitely does that in this episode
As always, I asked David to recommend a future guest, and he recommended Paddy Jackman from Unipol, we look forward to recording an episode with you at some point Paddy.

“At Some Point You Think, There is a Tale to be Told Here”

How one unexpected conversation changed him forever.
The influence Charles Marshall and Karen Burke have had on his life.

As always, I asked Paul to recommend future guests, and he gave me a list!

Dustin Fjeld
Tom White & Kirsty looms as a duo, (that will be a first)

Intersectionality and why it is vital to ensure everyone feels that they belong.
Her key involvement in the Living Black at University work and who, if anyone is taking this forward.
How she very quickly joined the board of Student Pride and how she is vocal in her activism for LGBTQ+ causes all year round.

I have had a few people who I’m lucky enough to describe as mentors throughout my career, and Steve Jones was the first and perhaps the most influential, and I know this to be true for so many people in the hospitality industry.
