  • The Socially Awkward Guide to One-on-One Networking Calls
    Jul 3 2025

    If the words “networking call” make you want to dry-heave into your oat milk latte, you’re not alone. This episode is your ultimate survival guide for the socially awkward, the beautifully bizarre, and the ones who’ve always felt like a bit of a freak in professional spaces.

    I break down how to show up to one-on-one chats without selling your soul. Learn how to vet the right people, kick off convos without cringing, and leave a lasting impression without sounding like a LinkedIn robot.

    Perfect for rebels, introverts, and the wonderfully weirdos building something epic on their own terms.

  • Your brand is the only constant
    Jun 26 2025

    If Slipknot and the Sugababes can teach us anything (yep, really), it’s this: your brand is the only constant that matters. Members change. Products evolve. Shit gets chaotic. But if your brand is strong? People stay loyal.

    In this episode, I break down how two wildly different bands with revolving doors of members still manage to pack stadiums and sell records, and what that has to do with building a business that lasts.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why your offer, team, and even your niche can change—but your brand can’t afford to.

    • The castle metaphor you didn’t know you needed.

    • What Dyson, Apple, and Netflix all have in common with face-painted metalheads and British pop queens.

    This isn’t just a chat about music. It’s about building something so solid, people would follow you even if you burned it all down and started again.

    💀 Whether you’re a founder, creator, or rebellious misfit with a big vision, this one’s for you.

    ⬛ Tune in, take notes, and remember: your brand is the heartbeat. Protect it at all costs.

  • Jack of All Trades? Good. The Power of Generalists in a Specialised World
    Jun 19 2025

    Ever felt like your career path looks more like a drunken stumble than a straight line? Same.

    This week, I’m unpacking Range by David Epstein, a book that blew my little mind-tank and gave me a whole new perspective on why being “all over the place” is actually your biggest business asset.

    In this episode, we dig into:

    🖤 Why being a generalist is a secret weapon, not a red flag ⬛ The difference between ‘kind’ and ‘wicked’ environments (startups are chaos incarnate) 💀 How your messiest jobs, hobbies, and detours are building strategic muscle you didn’t even know you had

    If you've bounced from role to role and worried you were just “dicking around,” this one’s for you. Turns out, you’re not lost, you’re custom-built for this entrepreneurial life.

    Let’s embrace the chaos and own the magic in the mess.
