I am joined by my two favourite guys this week, Jay O'Connell and Louis Sparks!

In the past 9 months, Jay and Lou have developed not one but TWO creative businesses. VRC Studios, a headshot portfolio house designed to give creatives an affordable kick off into the industry, and Fraction Productions, a videography company that promotes a wide range of brands.

We talk about how to start a creative business, what freelance life is like and even headshot advice.

This week may be the only time I will ever come close to speaking to Tom Hardy.

Last year Imogen Eden-Brown decided to lip sync a scene from the film, Legend, reenacting Tom Hardy playing the Kray twins. The Kray twins were 2 notorious gangsters in London during 1950s and 1960s. This scene went viral and she woke up to 3.5 million views and had gained 50,000 followers.

Come listen to this hilarious yet crazy story as Imogen now navigates her acting and TikTok career.

Imagine going to an arty independent theatre bookshop, and realising at the back of it, you have a gorgeous little creative space where they host acting workshops. This my friends, is 'Acting Practice'.

Joseph Samimi runs these workshops weekly from this amazing space in Waterloo, and he has kindly come on the podcast to talk about a whole variety of subjects within the creative industry.


You can attend Acting Practice workshops every Wednesday 12pm-3pm & 6pm-9pm at the Calder Bookshop & Theatre in Waterloo.
