Want to start a business but are as clueless as I am about how to do it?
There is hope! This episode of Shameless Careers is your practical guide to finding the right business idea and taking it forward based on insider knowledge from someone who has done it multiple times.
Today’s guest, Pascal Pert, is a serial entrepreneur who exited two companies - sports tech and big data - to some of the biggest top tech giants in the space, sold 37 product lines with a reverse engineering factory, and had other ventures in retail, gaming and AI. Pascal is also a board member of Tech and Engineering at Oxford Brooks University - and in this episode we discuss:
✔️ How to come up with a business idea - and why you should always start with a SIMPLE business (that would be - yes, you've heard it right - below your intelligence level)
✔️ Why "unsexy" industries - like food or retail - present great opportunities for healthy margins and lower risk vs your trendy blockchain-with-AI-and-beyond startups
✔️ Why product-based businesses are often easier to scale than service-based ones
✔️ Why the NUMBER ONE skill in entrepreneurship is Sales (that comes before everything - even the product!)
✔️ Why passion is overrated (yes, you don’t need to “love” your business - just the results it brings)
Hope you enjoy it - and drop any entrepreneurship questions you may have in the comments!

Are You Stuck in the Success Trap? 🚀
So many high achievers look successful on the outside - career, money, status - but deep inside, they feel something is missing. Why does achievement often fail to bring real fulfilment? And how do you break free from chasing success that doesn’t truly satisfy?
In this episode of Shameless Careers, I sit down with Dr. Amina Aitsi-Selmi, award-winning transformational career and leadership coach and author of The Success Trap. We dive deep into:
🔹 The symptoms of the success trap - how to know if you're in it
🔹 Why many high achievers feel unfulfilled, despite checking all the boxes
🔹 The illusion of success and the hidden costs of chasing external validation
🔹 How to redefine success on your own terms - without losing ambition
🔹 Why real power is about exercising choice, not following the “shoulds”
🔹 How breaking free from the success trap leads to greater leadership presence
If you’ve ever wondered “Is this all there is?” or felt like you’re living a life based on expectations rather than your true self, this conversation is for you.
👉 Watch now and discover how to create a career and life that truly aligns with you.

Ever wondered what it's like to work for a big firm (like Google) versus a fast-scaling startup? I have too!
We could have continued suffering in the unknown, but don’t you worry - because in the new episode of Shameless Careers (link in comments), I interview my brilliant guest, Ekaterina Kalygina, exactly about that!
Early in her career, Ekaterina worked at Unity Technologies - a Series A startup in San Francisco that later had a successful exit 🚀🤩. She then moved to Google, where she was Head of Product Marketing at Google Play in EMEA. Today, Ekaterina is an angel investor and a limited partner at the VC fund Partech Venture.
In the interview we have covered ALL the nuances of working in a rocketship startup vs. big tech (and when its the best time, career-wise, to make a switch between the two) - so I can finally continue living my life in peace (will probably walk my dog now... although he doesn't care about careers, he just wants to be fed at 6 pm!)
Tune in, enjoy, and share your thoughts with me below!

Hi everyone - in this episode, I'm SUPER excited to plunge into the (hot!) topic of AI Entrepreneurship with my guest JJ.
In my humble opinion, JJ's career path is MEGA exciting. JJ started his career at Google 🤩, went to McKinsey🧠 where he got exposure to digital transformation and deep learning projects. JJ then went deeper into AI space, joining an AI consultancy 🤖 where - at 25! - he was the head of the division in charge of AI strategy.
After that - in this "now or never" moment that I have heard from many entrepreneurs whom I have interviewed - JJ decided to become an entrepreneur and went to Entrepreneur First where he launched, at first, a company delivering real time biometric feedback for fitness applications and then - a company that JJ is running now - a copilot for private equity.
Listen to the interview for tonnes of AI and career insights:
- How JJ decided to leave a corporate path - and what he has learned about employability of ex-founders
- Whether one can build an AI business without technical background
- What lessons JJ has learned running an AI business
- And - of course - how AI can impact careers going forward
Tune in, enjoy, be shameless!
P.S. I have just launched a newsletter where I will be analysing each interview, distilling key career tips & learnings, and sharing my personal career experiences. If you love chatting about careers - subscribe - and don't hesitate to respond and share your thoughts, would love to hear them! https://shamelesscareers.beehiiv.com/

In one of the prior episodes - "How Mindfulness Can Help You Find A Career You Love" - my guest Victoria Zimmer, a wellness and mindfulness professional, said that its super important to relax, because its only when you are in a relaxed state, creative solutions can come to you. When you are in stressed and contracted state you are in a focused, problem-solving mode and there is limited room for creativity to come in.
In this episode today, I wanted to pause on this super important idea. In our day-to-day lives many of us are ultra focused on being productive - but is this the right approach? And importantly, will being productive and going all steam ahead help you find a career you love and become successful in it?

In this episode I'm super excited to interview Marc Faubeau. Marc worked for more than a decade in traditional finance as a Sales Trader in an Investment Bank and as an employee for MarketAxess - a super fast growing and top S&P500 fintech firm.
After a few life events, Marc decided to plunge into entrepreneurship, and became a co-founder and COO at Project Olympia - an AI company, bringing video recognition of human movements and behaviours to multiple industries with a focus on sports at launch.
After absolutely roller coaster three years, the company unfortunately didn't survive and Marc went back into full employment. However this is not the point - the key point is that Marc describes this experience as one of the most rewarding in his life.
In this interview we are talking about what was this entrepreneurial journey like, and why it had made such an impact on him.

In this episode I'm super excited to interview James.
James started his carer at a big corporate - Deutsche Bank - where for 6 years James was building a career as a software engineer.
But then James ventured into entrepreneurship. He did this by joining an entrepreneurship program - that we are talking about in the episode - and launching his own fitness app.
Now James has something that can be truly called a "portfolio career": he is still running his business on the side, but came back to full employment - but this time round he chose a smaller growing company that can satisfy his entrepreneurial itch. James is also a certified career coach helping people in tech and finance to make their next big career step.
In this episode we are talking about:
- What it was like to leave a big corporate
- What was the entrepreneurship program like and if it was helpful
- What are the benefits of portfolio career - a concept that is becoming more and more popular these days
