How my personality type impacts my work with Gretchen Rubin

On this week's episode, we ask what does success look like in the Instagram age? Anna shares her story about the early days of what is now her very successful newsletter, The Professional Freelancer. She talks about that moment when she almost gave up but tells us why she didn’t. We try to get to grips with why humans have always had the desire to be famous and how in modern culture success appears to happen overnight. We then ask how this drive for external validation in our society impacts normal working environments. In the last segment of the show, we share how we’ve redefined success so we hope you too can think about what success really means to you in today’s working world. Get in touchWe want to hear from you because this podcast is all about how we can improve your working lives.

Vicky Spratt

In this week’s episode we’re talking about privilege and we’ve invited journalist and campaigner, Vicky Spratt to talk to us about what class has to do with our work. Vicky Spratt reports on housing and society. Her Make Rent Fair campaign led to the introduction of the Tenants Fee Act, which has resulted in the ban on letting fees for tenants renting in the private sector. Her first book, Tenants, will be published next year. Her work centres on a central theme – how the mechanisms of class structure in this country inform our social policy and affect all of our lives, whether we realise it or not.The three of us sit down and have a hard conversation about privilege and we get to grips with how difficult it is for those from diverse backgrounds to break into elite professions. Get in touchWe want to hear from you because this podcast is all about how we can improve your working lives.

Guest special with Vicky Spratt: Class privilege and our careers

In this week’s episode, we ask what’s really making us ditch the 9-5 to go freelance?Anna shares her experience of going self-employed after losing her job in a round of redundancy. She talks about how she found the experience of working for herself a lot more fulfilling and empowering than she’d expected but that at the same time, the solution to feeling discontented in a job can't be for everyone to just quit. We then discuss what the rise in freelancing, particularly among women, tells us about work culture as a whole (spoiler alert: it’s broken.) In our final segment, we talk about what we can do to improve our individual situations if we’re struggling with a work problem and what needs to change on a macro level to make work better suited for everyone.Get in touchWe want to hear from you because this podcast is all about how we can improve your working lives.

Finding our motivation: How to get stuff done

In this week’s episode of Is This Working?, the podcast that questions the impact of work on our lives, we talk about side hustles and we ask - why are we monetising our hobbies?Side hustles are on the up, so what does the increase in people pursuing them say about what our main jobs aren’t able to provide us? We talk about blurring the boundaries between work and leisure and our culture that allows us to monetise every aspect of our lives.
