So this week’s episode ties into the one from last week, where I explain that I was chatting with Jo and once we were done I realized that I had been having a panic attack pretty much the entire time. I wanted to share it because there is some good stuff that came from our chat but also to give you a little insight as to what it is like when someone has high functioning anxiety and just keeps plugging along through life. As always I would love your thoughts and comments, and most of all for you to know that if this is something you are walking through, you are not alone!

A talk with Jo Blair about anxiety

Jo hails from Ōtautahi Christchurch and has had a varied career, from media to wine sales and she even trained as a chef! She also worked for a number of years for the Christchurch City Council, bringing to life events such as the World Buskers Festival. In 2013, she tapped into her entrepreneurial roots and set up her own business, social change agency Brown Bread, who specialise in partnering with social purpose organisations to revolutionise giving and fuel creativity. Throughout her career, there’s been a strong thread of creating movements around big ideas and building communities around great causes. In this episode, Jo shares:How the 'wiggly-woggly' variety of roles in her early career have helped her enormously in running her own businessHow she combines purpose, profit, and passionHow she agreed with her husband that he'd be the stay-at-home parent for their son while she runs the business
