Unmaking It Olivia Flasch

A conversation with Nathalie, who quit her job in advertising to travel and write a book. We talk about the importance of slowing things down once in a while, the impact of COVID-19 on job satisfaction, curveballs that can sometimes be blessings in disguise and about fuelling your creativity.

A conversation with Mark, who quit his job as a banker to co-found a health and wellness business called That Day. We talk about unconventional career paths, the excitement (and struggles) of working on something big, how one thing often leads to another, and the importance of balance.

A conversation with Jenn, who quit her corporate job as an actuary last year to go yacht-racing. We talk about knowing when to leave (your job), knowing when not to leave (your boat life), and that you don't always have to think about what's next - you can just enjoy the moment.

A conversation with Brian, who co-founded a date syrup manufacturing and distributing business back in 2016, after working in financial consulting and tech for a number of years. He talks to us about the importance of planning, why entrepreneurs need other entrepreneurs, and the value in having a supportive partner.

A conversation with Grace, who took her videography and motion graphics hobby to the next level when she quit her corporate job and went freelance. We talk about just that - how to turn your hobby into your day job, and a lot of other things, such as building a client base and working in the music industry.

A conversation with Ollie, who went from lawyer to director of a non-profit organisation. We talk about exchanging some of your salary to get your life back, how rewarding it is to do something meaningful, and that you might have several careers throughout the course of your life.
