Ari Last - Bubble - Tackling the childcare challenge

This week's guest is Ari Last, founder of the on-demand childcare app Bubble.Bubble was actually integral to the early days of this show- being able to book a carer quickly allowed me to record this show during my daughter's nap times and get it off the ground.Childcare is in what Ari terms 'systemic failure' and in this episode, we discuss how it can be solved: from how the pandemic has changed attitudes in parenting to employers understanding childcare as a serious issue for their employees.We also talk about trust- crucial for any form of childcare- and you'll hear exactly how Bubble is addressing this problem through a digital-first experience. With jobs of the future, and arguably an industry of the future, this is a cracking episode on a complex and interesting topic.Ari, incidentally, also has a degree in broadcast journalism- in other words, far more qualified than me to host a podcast.
