a print design legend? with Dave Hopkins

This week, I had the pleasure of learning more about my wonderful colleague Ray Lawlor. Ray and I both work at The Customer Bureau (Helping iconic brands become customer centric) and a while back Ray approached me with an amazing story, his story. In his words, he didn’t know what he wanted to do until he was 30. Ray believes that learning and figuring out what you want to do is a constant process of life and that change is wonderful and nothing to be afraid of. This story is truly wild and I can’t wait to share it with you.On this interview we spoke about: Ray’s selftaught journey From music to television to advertising to engineering (I mean, what?!) Celebrating scholarship programs A wonderful woman named Anne Not being made for formal education Supporting partners during freelancing and jumping from freelancing to company team member The importance of having awesome colleagues Giving kids the chance to be lifelong learners A chat about priviledgeWant to learn more about Ray Lawlor?

a head of engineering at Engineered? with Ray Lawlor

Staying in line with the environmentalist topic, this week we have another warrior for the earth but who uses a physical medium and not a digital one. Rafael Martig, has a fascinating story of combining the logical and emotional to advocate for conservation of flora and fauna. From a young age, he loved nature and learned to observe and learn from it. Born into a family of creatives, he took the science path before getting back to his roots and picking up a brush to make his audience think about the role they play in the future of the planet. A true pleasure to talk to such a rare bird (that joke will make sense after you listen to this episode, trust me it’s brilliant)On this interview we spoke about: Going from scientist to visual artist A lifelong fascination with birds and being known as the bird guy Doing what you can with the skills you have The voting pencil that inspired a super long painting (literally, it’s super long) How impact can start in your own backyardWant to learn more about Rafael?

a visual artist inspired by biological science? with Rafael Martig

I’m not a fan of social media, sounds weird because I have a podcast but I’m really not a fan of the social media aspect of it. That’s why I was so excited when Neerja and Aparna reached out to me because I love to be proven wrong and to learn what the other side looks like and does. In today’s episode I’m taking to Neerja from ‘Humans Of Earth’, an online platform focused on sharing stories from small climate activist and promoting their efforts and knowledge to expand their reach and provide information to the world. So much respect for these ladies and their work!On this interview we spoke about: Using social media to enact change A lawyer and an engineered becoming climate activists Featuring stories about ordinary people enacting change The effects of climate change The power of social media to unite peopleWant to learn more about Apart, Neerja and Humans for Earth?

And we made it to the C-suite! Yes, my guest this week is the Founder and CEO of Startdock, Thom Wernke.

At StartDock, tenants are promised flexible contracts and the ability to scale up and down with their workspace adapting to their journey. With 4 amazing locations (5th one is on the way), an active startup community and that believe that your business will grow because of the StartDock environment, it truly is the place to be for up-and-coming entrepreneurs.On this interview we spoke about: How Startdock selects the cities for their locations Starting a company with multiple founders Thom’s organic journey into becoming CEO The weight (or lack of weight) of a title Accelerator programs?

the founder and managing director of paper republic? with Jérôme Bacquias 

WELCOME TO SEASON 2 OF THE PODCAST!  And we are starting with a great one. It’s no secret that I’m skeptical about people who put ‘Coach’ as their job title. Honestly, I think most of them are snake-oil salesmen and saleswomen. Well, Coach Johnson is not one of them and he sets the bar for a life-changing coach. Coach is a 10 year veteran teacher/Athletic Director that looks to build students sense of self and foster strong communication between parents and their children. A masters graduate from Sarah Lawrence College, he developed his love for block building and works with other teachers and schools to incorporate block building into their classroom programming. He is a Husband, a father, a coach and the host of Our Village Stories: Parenting through Passion and Grit.  On this interview we spoke about:  His experience as a student athlete What sports can teach you about life The coach that set him on this path How opportunities come to those who do good work How you know you succeeded as a Coach   Want to learn more about Coach and his podcast? Here are some links: Website My episode on “Our Village Stories” Twitter Instagram Buy Me a Coffee Blog  Cameron’s recommendations: Go watch how people played basketball before! Men and women, the OG ballers. Understand the strategy, it’s like chess.

a podcaster? with Anand Dattani

It’s that time of the week again and today we are talking to Sarah Tulej, a brand photographer originally from the UK currently living in Rotterdam. From a young age, she had a passion for photography but it wasn’t until she was in her 30’s that she took a career change course in London (trust me, it’s a good story) that she decided to take the jump into professional photography. Sarah’s story is really inspiring and I hope you enjoy it! On this interview we spoke about:Her journey to become a professional photographerThe particular set of skills that separate Sarah from other photographers (spoiler alert! It’s not tech related)How she build her skills following her curiosityThe research she did before taking the plunge into a new careerThe financial aspect of changing careersSarah’s experience as a mentor and where she draws the line between mentor and teacherWant to learn more about Sarah?

a design entrepreneur? with Chris Locke

Ekanem Ebinne

Welcome back to my journey into understanding coaches! Just kidding! This show is and will always be about teaching creative and I'm so honoured to have this week on the pod someone who is educating the most creative humans, babies! And teaching nothing other than music. Yes, you read correctly. Ekanem is musician and musical educator for babies and very young kids. Music was always a part of her life but it wasn't until her mentor suggested this path that she ventured into creating her own curriculum. Come and listen to her amazing journey!
