/   This week I speak with writer-facilitator-presenter, Matt Trinetti. Matt is a TEDx speaker, he's helped establish the Escape School at  (**intro correction**), and continues to build and facilitate workshops there. He delivers training programmes and talks to companies such as Airbus, London School of Business and Unilever, to name a few. He is also the co-founder and co-host of the London Writers' Salon.   Matt has had a varied career, which started at IBM after studying engineering, and it wasn't until he received life-changing news that he decided to make more deliberate choices. These choices led him on an adventure around Europe and the start of his travel blog, . His purposeful journey resulted in a move from Chicago to London, where he built a creative portfolio career around his passions.   I see Matt as the perfect person to offer advice to those that want to follow a similar path - leaving the more traditional employee workstyle behind and creating a career with personal purpose.   In the episode we chat about:   Why he encourages people to share their intentions and wants in their work and life Seeing your work as projects as a way to experiment and learn in public The hurdles you can face when changing careers and advice on how to navigate them His alternative perspective to maintaining a competitive edge by continually adding value and asking how to help others   A huge thank you to Matt for taking the time to chat with me. I know his thoughts and insights will be so useful to those that want to escape the city.   I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do, please make sure to leave a rating and review. Doing so helps me create more podcast episodes and spreads the word so others can discover the podcast.
