63: Marcus Aurelius, women leaders and burnout and Roald Dahl's books

<p>Together, we have decided that the chapter of our lives dedicated to The Figure has come to a close. Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to and supported us over the last five years.</p><p><br></p><p>For our last episode, we explore the life and writing of the ‘philosopher-king’ Marcus Aurelius, the study that showed that 43% of women in senior positions are burned out and a collection of illustrations by Quentin Blake for the books of Roald Dahl.</p><p><br></p><p>We hope to create something else together in future - we don’t know what or when yet - and we will share what that is on our Instagram @FigurePodcast if and when the time comes. The views expressed in this podcast are our own.</p><p><br></p><p>Call Me By Your Name</p><p>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5726616/</p><p><br></p><p>Before Sunrise</p><p>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112471/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0</p><p><br></p><p>Clarkson’s Farm</p><p>https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clarksons-Farm-Season-1/dp/B095RNXQDY</p><p><br></p><p>W1A</p><p>https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05s9g2q</p><p><br></p><p>Finding Michael</p><p>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26880702/</p><p><br></p><p>Slow Horses</p><p>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5875444/</p><p><br></p><p>The Witch Trials of J.
