Rachel was always really creative and she always loved the creativity surrounding make-up in particular; the transformations that can come from doing make-up well, and the joy the (before and) 'after' can bring to someone, particularly women.
... And particularly Chops, who used Rachel for her TWWork relaunch shoot back in October, and who couldn't believe (in a good way!) what Rachel did to her face?!
But as Rachel says in the chat, she doesn't change anyone's face, she simply enhances it and highlights what's already there. Which is empowering in such a unique way and can be transformational for female confidence.
Because imagine what women could do if more of them had the confidence of their male counterparts... If they had even half the confidence of their male counterparts... It would be game-changing for society as we know it.
Please meet Rachel.

Generational perceptions and prejudices surrounding money; generational expectations and societal norms passed down; and perhaps most importantly, how these thinks fundamentally shape us, our view of the world, and our career paths... Are all covered and brilliantly articulated in Kim's pod.
Kim openly discusses the odd (even negative) relationship she had with money as a young working person, despite the exposure she went on to have with 'wealth' and indeed the daily interactions she had with people who 'have money'.
Years later, Kim's unique approach to wealth management combines all of her extensive finance experience, with some pretty hefty holistic experience and A LOT of honest and very personal self-reflection, in order to help people (mostly women) to make the 'right' choices with their money. Not necessarily practical choices, or 'expected' choices, but the 'right' choices for each person's needs.
Please meet Kim.

In this chat we discuss how on earth Annabel had got into the (potential) minefield that is 'matchmaking'; plus how she's tackling what is, a global 'dating' and 'matching' problem right now.
... The lack of coupling (and sheer volume of sexless people) is a hot topic in some scientific circles, and even some governmental circles.
Annabel got into this world, because over the past 15-years (since her divorce) she's tried every form of dating herself; and even though she can't seem to find her Mr Right; Annabel realised how passionate she was/is about trying to fix this dreadful problem and in doing so, help others. Plus how bloody good she is at meeting and connecting others.
So after a drunken chat with a friend one night, circa a year ago, Norfolk Cupid was born.
Please meet Annabel.

Jordan and TWWork are on the same course/the same path in terms of wanting to help people in work, and giving power back to people; we're simply tackling it in different ways. Which is great, because there is no 'one solution' to the global problem we've got... The problem of just how many people are fundamentally unhappy with work, and unhappy in their jobs.
So of course we're going to get Jordan involved in TWWork in some way, the universe has set it up thus; however, right now he's on his own start-up journey, which is two-fold: 1. Is to work with and coach senior leaders, to be MUCH better leaders, and 2. Is to give a clearer voice to workers, which Jordan can then use to further shape task 1.
But even aside of Jordan's mission(s), his story and his hugely successful HR career journey is great and shows how attitude + aptitude has = immense altitudinal success for him. He also talks a lot about how amazing women have supported and sponsored him over his life and on his career journey, which is music to our ears!
Please meet Jordan.

A slightly left-field Break Room chat for you this week... To attempt a discussion about a bigger picture that's affecting us all... And yes, done in an alternative, 'woo-woo' kind of way ;-)
We know lots of people won't like this Break Room chat, and that's totally ok. Truly.
... Perhaps they can't feel the energetic shift going on. Perhaps they're not looking at everything in the news and questioning it at a deeper level. Or if they can/do, perhaps they're choosing to ignore how they really feel about it; which is absolutely fair and ok to do so.
There is no right and wrong, and we're all just doing the best we can with the world and the circumstances we're living in.
Lexie, however, believes she's on a path to help and heal, and in her own words, play her part in the change that's unfolding in the world. And she's using her knowledge and experience as a Priestess Astrologer to do that.
So if you're happy to, please take a listen to some woo-woo waffle, and please meet Lexie.

The variety of Gemma's work; the creativity of it, the pace of it, the sense of achievement from it... And yes, the glamorous side of media production, will no doubt be fascinating to lot of you. Although, as Gemma mentions, it's FAR LESS glamorous than people think.
However, getting 'into' media production, or any similar 'behind the scenes' role in media, has always been, and still seems to remain to be, a big mystery. But as Gemma says, it doesn't need to be; and in the chat she offers up some great advice for what people can do/what routes in they can take.
What's extra great about Gemma's chat, is that she really emphasises the hard work and graft that has gone into getting where she is now. She had a 'can do' attitude from the start, which even at the top of the chain she still maintains; and as such her career has flown. But most importantly, she BLOODY loves what she does.
Please meet Gemma.

Having been raised in a brilliantly creative (perhaps even 'alternative') household, by creative parents, Lucy struggled to find her 'thing' as a young adult. The working world didn't seem to offer much for her skills and interests, nor did they seem to want her; which left Lucy feeling incredibly lost and disillusioned, as she explains in the chat.
Thankfully her creative endeavours kept her moving forward and trying new things, including a vintage wedding business. Lucy then embarked on a publishing career, specialising in children's pictures books, and with that a period of massive highs and big lows. Thankfully her wonderful craft shop has kept her sane and stable.
Lucy is brilliantly candid about feeling lost for some pretty large chunks her career; however, she's never given up, and she's never quit.
Please meet Lucy.

In the chat we talk about some of the strange consequences of Jonny's treatment... Farting, burping and unwanted male erections (shhhhh!)... Even unwanted female attention. Some of which are very odd, because it's actually pretty painful.
Because unlike Beth's (Lymphatic drainage) massage, Jonny's is pretty intense; which is needed to unlock and treat muscles that quite frankly, don't want to be treated and unlocked. And he's damn good at it, hence why professional athletes travel to be treated by him.
It was really interesting hearing how Jonny decided to train in Australia, rather than the UK, purely to get a more rounded and holistic learning experience (and of course, catch a bit of sun, sand and sea along the way); and it's a great example of thinking about want your life to look like, and then making it happen.
Please meet Jonny.

You don't specialise in a subject like the Lymphatic system without a keen interest in the human body and human physiology, and Beth has that in abundance. She's had it since a small child, and has been raised to really think about how her body works, and to be mindful of what she puts in it.
Add do that decades of travel and (particularly asian) food and healthcare experience, Beth has become a truly unique therapist.
When Beth practices her lymphatic massage and holistic treatment, her advice and her work comes from a place of great experience, deep care and immense consideration.
... And like she says in the chat, more often than not, you get more advice that you bargained for!
Please meet Beth.

In this inspiring chat, Kirsty talks about how she helps deaf people in lessons, to learn; in interviews, to get jobs; but perhaps most prevalently, in healthcare, to deliver diagnosis, advice, and sometimes, very tragic, terminal news to people. It's beyond humbling.
Kirsty also talks about the nuances of signing, and how body language and different signs are needed to portray tone and meaning... It's NOT just hand gestures. Which makes total sense when you think about it.
... The problem is, not many of us do think about it, and if we do, we certainly don't think about it enough.
Please meet Kirsty.

Despite working in a bank for a short while after graduating, Manisha decided she'd like to become a teacher, and teach her (degree-based) knowledge of business and economic to others.
... So she did, and in doing that, Manisha found her 'thing', her 'people' and her 'tribe'. And from there her career took off, as did her after-hours tutoring.
Nearly 5 years later, her business offers tutoring in most academic subjects, and covers from primary school right through to the first year of degree level.
Please meet Manisha.

Like our previous mash-ups, this is where we showcase a whole load of gems and snippets from the podcasts this year.
(The last mash-up was back in June, so this is a selection of pod snippets from June to December.. In case you're interested).
If you're new to TWWork, then our mash-ups are a brilliant gateway drug into what we do and what we're trying to achieve. Which is to give helpful, inspirational career advice to anyone that needs it.
The snippets, in order (as they appear), are from the following pods:

Nick's journey into scaling and exiting business started with a need to change what he was doing, and attending a Tony Robbins event on a friend's recommendation. Prior to that he'd had a successful corporate career.
Since 'Tony', Nick's journey has taken him far and wide, and he is now paid mega BIG BUCKS to advise global corporations how to scale and run either start-up investments, existing business, or how to manage businesses to exit and sell.
In this Break Room, which Nick kindly spared the time for Chops (as an old friend), we get as much advice as we can on what to do right, what to look out for, and what to learn from the most, when starting and running a business. And it all really comes back to us... to you!
Please meet Nick.

When we went to Abi (pod 68), we briefly met her partner, George... And before we sat down, Abi casually dropped into conversation that George is a deep sea worker, who professional dives and repairs BIG mega structures underwater for a living.
Woah, woah, woah... George, hold the line, don't go anywhere!
But that's not the only mad thing about George, because before diving, he used to organise (illegal, but were they, really?) raves and make and produce dance/rave music... and earn good money from it.
Great chat from a great chap. Please meet George.

Abi's childhood working and running overseas student farms in Cambridgeshire with her family (niche, right?), meant that she grew up fundamentally interested in people and being around people... and helping people.
And when she left the family business to make a go of things on her own, that experience led her into social care, community care and healing massage.... She still wanted/needed to help people.
Home organising, or rather, professional organising, has the potential to combine all of the skills she used on her family business and in her adult life since: organising people, organising activity, teaching people, and ultimately, helping people. And Abi LOVES it!
Please meet Abi.

Darren and Sarah's enthusiasm for the outdoors, and for physical activity - in the fresh air - is contagious. They live and breath what they do.
Although it's clear that Darren is the driving force behind the business, and some might say (Sarah might say), the driving force behind the madness; you quickly realise how much he relies on Sarah as a voice of reason and as his anchor.
They're a fab couple, on a fab mission, to give normal people a fab experience... Which they do, every single time.
With special thanks to Darren & Sarah and everyone at: https://www.forestfacility.com

Even though Chops firmly believes Jim & Janet are the best neighbours ever, it's still a bit odd having them on TWWork as podcast guests... Not least because they're retired and long out of the daily grind of working life - right?
Wrong. They know a lot! About life and working life, and even though they're retired, they still have business relationships at play, and are still hugely aware of what's going on in the world. They are well-educated, smart, open-minded people, who have a sincere interest in the world and their community. And their take on human connectivity today vs 'their day' was really interesting to hear.
For a first, 'soft' attempt, with Jim and Janet (to ensure they didn't back out or freak out), we think it went well. Yes multiple bottles of prosecco were consumed, but that's by-the-by.
Please welcome Jim and Janet to TWWork.

Louise's story is a mixture of creative talent, hard work and... well, chance.
Because although she carved out her own successful career prior to the world of reclamation, it was a chance meeting and a chance friendship (that later became a romantic relationship) that ultimately brought her to where she is today.
And even though she joined her (now) husband's successful reclamation business later on in life (10-years ago), Louise brought with her a wealth of creative talent and retail experience that has enabled the business to evolve and further flourish... And is enabling them to now build their dream home, which will be (as far as possibly) built and made entirely out of reclaimed materials.
Please meet Louise.

Judging by the smells in Katie's home kitchen when we podded her, it's no wonder Katie is so busy with her catering business.
A catering business which to this day makes her family laugh, because as a child, and a young teen, Katie had no interest in food or cooking. Her parents also aren't caterers, so this whole career path came out of the blue.
... Although not entirely. Katie talks about being creative as a child, particularly with textiles, and so whether she realised it or not, she was always going to end up thriving in a role that allowed her to express the creative part of herself.
But it didn't happen quickly, and it didn't happen overnight... Quite a few 'normal' jobs went through Katie's path before she ended up catering for big events and booked-up months in advance.
Please meet Katie.

Kerry's products and her approach are highly sought after. They're beautifully unique and beautifully executed... Hence why she ships them all over the world.
She refused to follow the traditional 'upholstering' path - despite being advised by MANY people to do that - and instead she's carved out her own path, and stayed true to it. And it's now paying dividends, because as well as custom upholstery, she's getting asked for collaborations and home styling advice... and much more.
As Kerry says in the chat, she's worked hard to create a 'brand', and now where that brand takes her is an open road.
Please meet Kerry.
