Description

We often hear stories of someone going out on their own after a major event – something that leads a person to leave a stable corporate career to create something of their own – then there’s the other stories.
The stories of realising that you’re just done with whatever you’re in.
In this episode, the endlessly articulate Ben Willis, Lawyer, Founder and Managing Director of Willis Commercial will share with you his moment of being done - and what happened next.
We talk about:

What it means to have someone in your corner telling you “yes, of course you should start your own thing”.
The realities of moving from business-concept to business-admin.
Allowing yourself to build your unique you-ness into what you do.
How it feels when the wins are yours (as well as the grind and the not so good bits).

He will also remind you of the value in always showing up as yourself, and that the right people will see that value and support you in your vision.

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.
