    🟪 Matthew's personal journey - how he discovered mindfulness and decided to dedicate his career to that space

    🟪 What it's like to run a wellness business - and what tips Matthew would give to people who want to start this type of business on their own

    🟪 Typical issues of employees that come to Matthew's retreats - and the advice Matthew gives them during the retreats

  • 13: The Power Of Letting Go When Looking For A Career You Love
    Aug 28 2024

    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.

  • 10: From Deutsche Bank, To Entrepreneurship, to a Portfolio Career
    Jul 17 2024

    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

  • 8: How Mindfulness Can Help You Find A Career You Love - Tips From A Top Wellness Professional
    Jun 19 2024

    In this episode I'm super excited to interview Victoria Zimmer. Victoria runs her own company Love Life Retreats focused on self-discovery, transformative experiences and holistic wellbeing.


    Victoria is an internationally recognised yoga teacher and retreat facilitator, with nearly two decades of experience. She is also a lead trainer of yoga, mindfulness and meditation at London Wellness Academy as well as an author of online yoga and meditation programs.


    In this interview we are talking about:

    - Victoria's own journey from Computer Science degree to a career in mindfulness and wellbeing

    - Why everyone who feels stuck in their careers should absolutely try mindfulness practices - even if they've never thought about this before (and have been somewhat sceptical!)

    - Which concepts from yoga philosophy we should try in our day-to-day life to live more authentically and be more immune to external factors, such as external definitions of success and validation of others


    Check out Victoria Zimmer's retreats, workshops and programmes on https://www.lovelifebyzimmer.com/

  • 7: From Investment Banking to Behavioural Science - Alexandra's Story
    Jun 5 2024

    In this episode I’m super excited to interview Alexandra Kirienko.


    Alexandra has made an amazing pivot - she used to work in finance, at an investment bank Jefferies as Equity Sales and she made a pivot towards doing what she loves - which is being a behavioural scientist, career consultant and a PhD candidate at London School of Economics researching hybrid work and wellbeing at work.


    In this interview we are talking about:

    - How Alexandra has decided to leave such a prestigious job?

    - Has she had any doubts as she was making this pivot - and were others telling her that she should stay?

    - Was Alexandra ready to give up the income that was getting in the investment banking role?

    - How did she figure out what she wants to do afterwards?

    - Is “the grass always greener on the other side” - i.e. does she feel much happier in what she is doing now vs. before?


    Enjoy!
