Guided by the values of community, creativity, and curiosity, each episode explores how to work smarter, lead without permission, and create a career that powers your life rather than draining it.

  1. "I'm Not Motivated by Money" Is a Lie We Need to Stop Telling (Let's Talk About Getting Paid)

    "I'm Not Motivated by Money" Is a Lie We Need to Stop Telling (Let's Talk About Getting Paid)

    Right, we need to have a chat. And honestly? This one's uncomfortable, but we're doing it anyway. I keep hearing the same thing from clients, friends, people in my DMs: "I'm not motivated by money." And then in the same breath: "...but I want to earn £10K more, work one less day, go fully remote, and not burn out." Babe. That's all connected to money. And we need to stop pretending it isn't. Look, I get it. We've been through SO MUCH in the world of work that talking about money feels... icky? Selfish? Like we're somehow less noble if we admit we want to be paid well? Nah. I'm not having it. Why this episode is essential: Simple question: Do you aspire to be a highly qualified, underpaid professional? Is that on your vision board—beans on toast and pot noodles? No? Then we need to get serious about your relationship with money and how you monetise your skills. Need help with negotiation or understanding your worth?

    The 4 Stages of Emergency Career Change

    Okay, so you're sitting in that meeting where your manager is banging on about "the exciting vision for Q4" and you're just... staring into space thinking "this is cute for you guys, but I don't plan to be here for that." Yeah. We need to talk. Look, I'm not your manager, I'm not your therapist—but if you're in a work situation where you know you should've left yesterday, this episode is for you. And it had to be one of the first episodes of season 6 because we're in October, which means you've got about six weeks before hiring freezes until January. So if you're going to make a move, it's now or never. Real talk: Nobody's going to change your career for you. Even if you work with me, YOU'RE the one making the change. So dust yourself off and let's get you out of there—properly.
