Catch Richard Clarke on Do Radio: Making Stuff up with Eleanor Tweddell 2nd - 8th February 2026

Richard Clarke is a speaker and facilitator who will share the secrets of happy teams.

Richard set up Secret Source in 2014, a tech company with one core belief. If he made team happiness his number one KPI, the company would naturally succeed.

He spent years learning the science of happiness in the workplace and how to make teams happier, before stepping down as CEO and eventually selling the company in 2025. Now he teaches leaders how to make their employees happier so they stay longer and perform better.

However, what looked like the “happy ending” on paper came with an unexpected cost: the struggle of letting go of your “baby”, wondering what’s next, and that strange post-exit feeling that founders rarely talk about.

This is a conversation about letting go, rebuilding purpose, and what to do when your old life ends before your new one fully begins.
