Awards season can bring out the best in people - but also the most suspicious takes…
In this episode of Adepting To Change Bitesize, we chat about our recent experience at the BISA awards ceremony in London. From the big moments to the behind-the-scenes doubts (and debates!), we unpack what it actually means to be in the running - and discuss whether or not we will get involved next year!
It’s short, sharp, and full of classic Adept honesty.

Alex & Paul are back this time with shorter episodes with the same honest chat, industry insight, and behind-the-scenes stories from the Adept world.
In this first instalment, we talk about what it really feels like to be nominated and to sponsor awards (spoiler: it’s a bit surreal).
Hit play for a quick listen that’s light, relatable, and very Adept.
