    Death by a Thousand Small Cuts: Founder Jason Mitchell on turning outsiderness into opportunity

    In this valuable ep, you're going to hear how being an outsider can spur you on to amazing things. How naivety and drive outweighs perfection. How true, fleixible working can transform a business. And what an inspiring human Jason Mitchell is! Jason was just 29 when he set up the super successful The Connected Set thanks to his outsider-like thinking. And in this conversation with Kimberly he reveals how he has gone from 'wild card' to wildly happy running his production company.

    From Sewers to Streamers: Dov Freedman on the frustrations that fuelled him to set up Curious Films

    Dov Freedman's indie has produced massive biopics on Amy Winehouse, Caroline Flack, Paula Yates and doc series like Netflix's Running With The Devil and Squad Goals for BBC3. But in this frank conversation, Kimberly draws out the vulnerable side of this successful CEO and Founder - how did he navigate the precarious career of a freelancer when you're 'only as good as your last reference'? Are Jews considered an under-represented group in TV? What's running a production company really like? Features fun stories about The Island with Bear Grylls, buying loo roll for the office and the adrenalin rush of Curious' first paid development money landing in the bank.

    My fight for a seat at the table: Netflix 'American Murder' Director Jenny Popplewell on her journey to feature doc success

    Jenny Popplewell is a huge name in documentary, but in this incredibly humble and revealing conversation, she tells Kimberly of her fight to be taken seriously as a director and how she's only just believing of her own success. This is a strong contender for most-whiplash-inducing episode of noddingly relatable content for Producers and Directors - or anyone wanting their career to move on and feels they are not being heard. Jenny has such important anecdotes and valuable advice, we are very grateful for her wise words.
