    Sin Tax, Poisoned Elephants & Life After Quitting Your Job - Fareed Khimani | Coffee Pump (E121)

    Konnichiwa Fam, Fareed Khimani is back, and this one goes from a sin tax nobody can explain to a conversation about identity that I wasn't ready for. He's working inside government now doing comms for the Ministry of Agriculture, he's rebranding Kenyan tea, and he leaves for Karachi this month to direct a documentary on brain health. Then, near the end, he turned it around on me and asked who I actually am without my job title. We talk about: – Why there's now a sin tax on glass and timber, and nobody can explain the logic – Sixty five percent on imported timber and what that does to affordable housing – The tea levy, and why farmers were told they're the ones paying it – Reaching 386,000 tea farmers by SMS instead of posting infographics on Instagram – Being critical of government while working for it – The Nyeri road and giving credit where infrastructure has actually improved – Selling his car at 32 to go to film school in Brighton – Shooting on real film and why nothing gets made that way anymore – Fifteen elephants poisoned, and the farmer's side of that story – The Karachi documentary on suicide, addiction and dementia through lived experience – Directing the KCB comedy ads and how agency work actually gets won – Why corporate sponsorship would mean toning this podcast down – Solitude versus loneliness, and what he's cutting out of his life – GTA 6 dropping its trailer on Netflix and where gaming is heading – Why he walked away from radio, and the question he put to me about identity Hope you enjoy the episode.
