In Focus: What I've Learnt From A Year Working Freelance - Ep 109 Sep 12, 2019

Show notes

On this week's In Focus session I am reflecting on a year since I left my full time job at BBC Radio 1Xtra to go freelance and work on my personal projects.
In this episode I share some of the things I've learnt over the past 12 months, both good and bad. I've tried to be as honest and open as possible here to hopefully inspire you to make a start on your own projects or to take a leap of faith.
Things I discuss; working with freedom, ownership of time, having confidence in your work, dealing with taxes, managing money and more!

Sam Qurashi: Facing Up To Fear - Ep 108 Sep 05, 2019

Show notes

On this episode I’m joined by Sam Qurashi who is a writer, instagrammer and unorthodox psychologist who previously worked at a psychiatric resident in an addiction hospital.
What I love about Sam is his thirst for understanding psychology and different elements to it. When he left his job in the hospital, he went on a journey of interviewing some of the most fascinating people he could find.
During this conversation, we spoke about:
- The make up of fear- Dealing with rejection- The relationship between fears and the things you want- What we can learn from emotional pain- And how focus can help you overcome anything
If there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing this conversation then please make sure you share it with a friend who would enjoy listening and really take something from it :)

Show notes

On this episode I’m joined by Estée Lalonde who is a content creator, YouTuber and Podcaster.
After moving to London from Canada, she started her own YouTube channel and has built up a huge following online through her content in beauty, fashion and vlogging.

Dumi Oburota: Success Is The Journey - Ep 104 Aug 08, 2019

Show notes

Dumi Oburota is a man who knows a thing or two about success; he discovered and started working with Tinie Tempah when the rapper was just a teenager and together they have built their Disturbing London empire. Dumi has gone on to work with huge talents such as Jessie J, Wizkid and Yxng Bane as well as branching into fashion and events
But the thing that struck me most was Dumi’s calm and attentive energy. He came across very humble and grounded and has a genuine interest in people.
In this conversation we spoke about; how Dumi identifies an artist’s talent, why he always looks to appreciate the moment, learning from setbacks and why he believes success is the journey.
