In this episode we meet Nic Lamont introduced to me by Lynne Parker of Funny Women fame. I loved talking to Nic to find out how she had decided to go into acting in the first place and how she found her dark comedy niche. I was interested to hear how she bolsters the uncertainty of acting work with 'money jobs' and how she navigated the pandemic, being pregnant and then becoming a new mum whilst also being an actress. I loved to hear that now she has her family she is more decisive on what she will and won't do, has written her own work and most recently set up a community project. I don't know how she fits it all in. To hear more, have a listen, rate, review and enjoy!

On this episode, I speak to Georgina Heron, one of the people who inspired this podcast. I was interested to hear what it was like working for a private jet company, especially in the pandemic. Georgina talked about how she worked her way up through the company from starting there in her university holidays. We discussed what it was like working her way up the company to director, being on call 24/7 and then having a maternity leave during the pandemic.
After maternity leave, Georgina worked with her employer to work out the best role for her skills and the business to accommodate the fact she now had a young family.

Like most of my guests, Mark didn't really know what job he wanted to do when choosing his qualifications so chose subjects he liked, enjoyed and was subsequently good at. Mark was drawn to London to start his career and initially chose banking as he thought there were elements of the role he would be good at and ultimately, it would pay well and enable him to enjoy himself in his other passions whilst living in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
Mark was good at his job but it didn't make him jump out of bed in the morning so he started to think about what did give him purpose and fire in his belly and when he got in touch with an old uni pal, they decided to realise their dreams of working in the fitness industry. Over the last 6 years their business has evolved and it is exciting to hear the journey they have been on.

This episode is with James Munce, a friend of mine for nearly 10 years. Over the last 10 years I knew he had had a career in finance and that he had started as a chartered accountant with my husband but didn't really know where his new job as CEO at Abu Dhabi Catalyst partners had taken him. Anecdotally I had heard about some of the interesting partners he has been working with and how much he is making investments in the digital world but I wanted to know more about it and how he had got there.
We hear about how he decided to go into accountancy in the first place, a move to Jersey, working for a bank in the 2008 financial crisis to now working in Abu Dhabi through a global pandemic and becoming the CEO even though he didn't want the limelight.
Enjoy episode 3!
