Alex Dyson got a job in radio straight out of uni with his best mate and went on to co-host one of the top-rated breakfast radio shows for 6 years. A dream gig for many.

Since he finished up on the show he’s decided to try other things. He’s been in love and experienced heartbreak, traveled extensively, written a book, started a daily podcast, opened a small business… oh, and ran for office in his hometown, not once but twice.

Basically, he’s been busy… but is he happy?
