Description

There are plenty ways you can find yourself in the midst of chaos that is building your own brand and business. Our guest today found his way there after spending over 2 decades in an industry - working for others at the one company – until the role he had there disappeared.
That’s an intense place to find yourself.
Mike Fitzpatrick, Director of Mediafitz, will share with you exactly what happened next.
We talk about:
-        How job-hunting can be the very thing that pushes you towards your own business
-        Why conversations with your network can spark thinking you didn’t know was in there
-        Getting over worrying about what other people think
-        And how just one small business idea leads to the next big thing in your life

This weekly podcast explores what it’s like to be starting your career over, with the people who’ve done it. In conversation, we tackle the messy middle of changing your life - how it feels to drop the identity of whatever came before and step into a brand new you – with, or without a plan.  Your host is Kim Kerton (hi!) the creator behind the handmade ceramics and plant-based recipes of Good Side of the Bed, a writer, marketer, yoga teacher, sea-changer, rev-head and pug mum. Before all that, Kim spent over a decade in the commercial media business. She decided to walk away, got unemployed and afraid, and here we are. This podcast is for the brave people who want to start over but are feeling the fear - maybe putting off starting because the end isn’t clear - and for those who find themselves right in the middle of the whirlwind. Whether by choice or by push, starting over is scary, Unemployed & Afraid is your tribe on the pathway through change.
