Ahmed Khanani and I go way back to elementary school. He's one of the most ambitious people I know from school and is really working to make sure he achieves all he sets his mind to. From working towards his dream job and leaving it within a year to building his wellness startup, Ahmed shares the pressures of "expectations" and doing what feels right.

In this episode, I talk about how I worked part-time while in university and what you can do too. 

I've known Shazminay for over 10 years now and since we were kids, shes never failed to impress. She's always been one to go out into the field and work to bring about the change many only talk about. 

If you'd like to get in touch with Shazminay about working in the public education space or in any impact organisation, drop her an email on [email protected].

Its been four months since my little band of creative misfits at Backspace (www.backspace.works) has been working remotely and it seems to be settling in for most now. During the lockdown I've spent some time thinking about how we've grown collectively and about what we've learned. 

In this monologue, I talk about 6 Lessons I've learned as a leader and about doing "business". Lessons I think I won't let go of and will keep in mind each time I feel lost. Here they are:
1. Ask for help. No shame in reaching out
2. Be brave. It's ok to be uncertain. Accept the ambiguity 
3. Be patient and nimble. Plans can always change
4. Appreciate the micro wins and cherish the losses
5. Empathy above all else. With your team, with your clients, with yourself. 
6. Keep gratitude alive

Here's a marginally old conversation on how Backspace (www.backspace.works) adjusted to working from home during the lockdown. Felt like an overall mature conversation. But if it isn't, enjoy it regardless.

Ali Anwerzada has played many roles in my life. A teacher, a mentor and now a friend. Tune in to hear his story about all the lessons he's learned along the way to get to where he is. A note which stood out for me was his approach to it all.
