Steph Le Prevost: CRO & UX Manger at Specsavers | Sparetime Chats #5

We discuss why companies should embrace experimentation, career progression, negotiating salaries, overcoming our own biases and much more. We also share some useful tools and learning resources. Having joined Specsavers 3 days after leaving school, Steph's 5yr tenure saw her journey through CRM, SEO, Content all the way to becoming UX and CRO Manager. Steph is currently a CRO Consultant at Conversion.com where she aims to supercharge her knowledge and experiences while working with diverse brands. Beside Steph’s passion for Behaviour Science, we share a similar growth mindset and I really admire her career journey so far. No doubt this is just the beginning and I look forward to what the future brings. #conversionoptimisation #digitalexperience #behaviourscience #CX Connect with Steph on LinkedIn RESOURCES Research on Priming Effect Thinking Fast and Slow The Psychopath Test Don't Make Me Think CXL, Experimentation Nation, Baymard Institute TOPICS (00:00) Intro (13:48) What is CRO?

Jibraan Kadri: Biotech Scientist and Researcher | Sparetime Chats #3

We discus CRISPR, the ethics of DIY biohacking, a shared appreciation for Japanese city pop, Islamic philosophy, a theoretic idea of the meaning of life and much more. [Our conversation is split into two parts; Part I - Science 00:00 & Part II - Religion & Spirituality 01:09:23] Being the optimist I am, this conversation strengthened my belief in unbound human potential. We get stuck in the routine of our lives that we miss the radical change going on around us and the smart tools available for us to create the change we wish to see. If I could speak to 17yr old me, who was fascinated with people, science and the unconventional, my message would be “pursue your passions intently and leverage the tools around you to explore the lengths and breadth of your curiosity”. I learnt so damn much from Jibraan and I also appreciate him for engaging my questions and wild theories #biohacking #crispr #biotech #hypoallergenicpeanuts #humanaugmentation PLUG IN 🔌 Find us here 👉 - https://sparetimr.carrd.co/ Jibraan's portfolio - https://tks.life/profile/jibraan.kadri Jibraan’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/KadriJibraan Watch video version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZZYwmCx2RE

Louis Garner: Coach and Community Builder | Sparetime Chats #2

We catch up on projects, discuss lunching a social enterprise and building a community during the pandemic, the value of mentorship, finding clarity in the midst of chaos, spirituality, meditation and much more. The Sanctuary Bristol is one of my favourite projects. I deeply respect the drive and team behind the project. One that has stayed true to its founding ethos and is still positively impacting the community. Louis is a coach, mentor, community leader and founder. His gratitude for nature greatly influences his coaching philosophy and methods. His approach aims to re-establish the innate connection between humans and nature whilst maintaining a compassionate relationship with oneself and their communities. A key take away from this chat, one that truly resonates with my mindset is summarised when Lou said "true blessing is when you are living the effortless life with your brothers and sisters" - I believe we have enough resources and knowledge to live abundantly and it's my personal responsibility to contribute to enrich those around me. #socialenterprise #sustainability #thesanctuarybristol PLUG IN 🔌 Find us here 👉 - https://sparetimr.carrd.co/ Website - https://www.lupbristol.com/ Lou's Insta - https://www.instagram.com/lgcoaching_/ The Sanctuary Bristol - https://www.instagram.com/thesanctuar...

We discuss marketing science, growing an online audience, startup growth strategies, the Darwinistic nature of social media, the "VC and fake guru problem", behavioural economics, the fungibility of freelancers in the gig economy, and much more. RJ is a researcher and entrepreneurial scientist who combines findings from field and academic research to build efficient strategies for companies. He is currently focused on building an “MMA camp for founders”.
