In a candid, first‑person monologue, the speaker explains that at the height of his recruitment career he had no structured daily routine. While billing £500,000 a year and leading a team of consultants, he was constantly travelling across the UK (Bradford, Norwich, Reading) to support large software projects and meet with program, project and PMO managers. He openly admits he was a functioning alcoholic during this period, often drinking while working, which he attributes to the lack of a day plan and the chaotic, ‘living the dream’ lifestyle that enabled his high numbers.

I had an alcohol problem, and when I was at my peak of recruitment, I was drunk. I was a functioning alcoholic, you know. I was traveling the country. I was up in Bradford, Norwich. I was in Reading. I was supporting some big, big software projects, I was out with the program managers, the project managers, the PMO managers. I was, I was going for lunches, and that was a period in my life when I didn't have that structure because I was living the dream. I was billing £500 grand a year. I had a team of resources working for me, which is still a massive skill, and people don't do those things as much anymore. And that was largely what enabled me to do the big numbers.
