This week on Giig It A Rest, we recap our live appearance at a recent TEAM event, complete with Andy's mid-sentence on-stage freeze.

Freezing in front of a crowd is everyone's worst nightmare, but despite inventing a few new idioms on the spot, he managed to compose himself and pull it back.

We dive into the key takeaways from the event, highlighting Michelle Flynn's powerful advice that "everyone needs an Ian" in their corner, and a backstage chat with Dave Irons about embracing the liberating mindset of simply not caring what other people think as you get older. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we discuss the incredible stress-management techniques used by ICU doctors to compartmentalise life-or-death decisions in the hospital.On the Giig software front, we share the bizarre story of a scammer who hacked a free user's email account, attempted to extort £5,000 from us, and resorted to calling us cheapskates using Microsoft Paint.

We also discuss how we are integrating Claude to fully automate administrative tasks and give a sneak peek at the upcoming CV formatter update.
