Acerca de esta escucha

“Whistle to Work” delves into the journey of transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurship in a portfolio career. Mike and Zed share personal anecdotes, professional insights, and strategies for thriving in new communities while effectively managing career shifts. The podcast provides a welcoming and supportive space for learning and personal growth.

Portfolio careers cannot rely on your past role and ‘brand’ alone. In this series we’ll focus on how you’ve got to “show up properly”. That means, purposefully, organised, prepared, knowledgeable, and a myriad of other things that we will talk about during this series. It's serious stuff but not dull.


The primary objective of “Whistle to Work” is to assist individuals in navigating portfolio career opportunities. The podcast aims to share real-time narratives on managing portfolio careers, impart productivity, personal branding, and targeted learning principles, and foster a community of engaged listeners.
