    Feb 23 2025

    What does career success actually look like for you? Most people never stop to figure it out - they just follow the path they think they should be on, only to wake up years later feeling stuck and unfulfilled. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

    • How to get clear on your ambitions and stop feeling lost
    • Goal-setting that actually works without overwhelming yourself
    • Building confidence in your career and making bold moves
    • Work-life balance - how to make it work for you, not against you

  • 009 Dean Reilly on Escaping the 9-5
    Jan 26 2025

    Today, you’ll hear a conversation I had with business owner and podcast host Dean Reilly. If you’re working a 9-5 job and asking yourself, “Is there more to life than this?” Or maybe you’re in a job you don’t love, but it’s not bad enough to leave. You’re doing just enough to get by, but not enough to feel fulfilled. If that sounds like you, then this episode is made for you.


    Dean was exactly like you a year ago. Through a series of events, he quit his 9-5 and built a property business that now generates £7-9k a month for only a few hours of work a week.


    You’ll hear about the concept of ‘work worth doing,’ why it’s time to take the leap to quit your 9-5, and how you can use your interests, skills, and experiences to replace your income and create a more fulfilling life.
