A premium wildlife/comedy series narrated by Ryan Reynolds
5 x 40mins produced by Wildstar Films for National Geographic on Disney+ and Hulu
Lions, tigers and grizzlies get all the glory, but it takes more than glossy fur and a ton of rippling muscle to make a real hero. This groundbreaking series tells the story of the heroic underdogs of the natural world – the weird, the gross and the downtrodden.
Underdogs captures their stories with humour, heart and ingenious storytelling.
Join us for an exclusive preview of the first episode followed by a Q&A with key production including Dan Rees, Executive Producer, Polly Billam, Writer, Nigel Buck, Executive Editor and Gary Smith, Producer/Director.

Sound familiar?
Whether you’re freelance, employed, or running your own business, pressure, stress and overwhelm are always lurking. At its best, pressure fuels creativity and energy but if we’re not careful, it can tip into stress, exhaustion or burnout.
This interactive workshop, led by Polly Robinson of Growth Space will offer practical tools and space to reflect so you can build everyday resilience, manage stress in real-time, and support others to do the same.
For yourself:
How do you spot the early signs that you’re sliding into stress?
What are your personal triggers?
And what small, sustainable habits can help you stay grounded, energised and clear-headed when pressure builds?
For your team:
Wellbeing at work can’t just be a tick-box exercise.
Recent research from Deloitte shows that while 91% of C-suite leaders believe their organisations support wellbeing, only 56% of employees agree.
So how do you bridge that gap?
How do you support people in ways that feel real and tangible?
Freelancers, founders and business owners juggling multiple hats, or managers and team leaders who want to build supportive, people-first cultures. This workshop is also suited to anyone who wants to feel more focused, resilient and less overwhelmed.
Polly Robinson, founder of Growth Space, helps leaders and their teams build connected, motivated, people-first workplaces. As a Facilitator and Executive Coach Polly supports:

Scope creep is the no.1 agency challenge.
It’s rife in our industry and has a negative impact on people, projects and profits.
From underpriced / over scoped projects, to seemingly innocent client requests that will ‘only take 10 mins’ scope creep creeps in.
In this workshop we look at typical scenarios that allow scope creep and how to approach these scenarios next time – from behavioural change and better processes.
The goal – let’s put scope creep on the scrap heap.
