Future Directors Podcast

Episode 01: Is your AGE getting your down? Then listen to this.


Listen Later

For anyone who has ever been told, ‘You’re too young to do that…’ then you need to listen to this latest episode of Boardroom Hustle. My guest this week is Parrys Raines, whose resume reads like someone decades older than her 22 years. Parrys has led a remarkable life thus far, taking on various roles such as law student, international speaker, writer, blogger, business owner and board director, and she has never let her age hold her back.

 

Parrys is passionate about sustainability and pushing for a better future. She’s a prime example of success at an early age, and is a wonderful reminder that you’re never too young to start changing the world.

 

In this episode, we get into loads of fascinating topics, such as...

 

  • Why imperfection is sometimes better than perfection
  • Parrys’ advice to those who haven’t yet been able to connect to their passions and purpose
  • What Parrys considers to be changes that should be (but aren’t) occurring in the boardroom, and how younger people are intertwined with that
  • How the career ladder has transformed into the career lattice, and what this means for everyone across all generations
  • The benefits of an intergenerational mentoring relationship
  • The drive behind Parrys’ decision to start her first website business at the age of fourteen
  • Board roles, building a company and how to remain optimistic towards the unknown
  • The roadblocks and difficulties Parrys has come up against in starting up her second company, and how she has overcome them
  • How you can find and create opportunities to do what you really love in a job you only just like
  • Parrys’ devotion to sustainability, and how she managed to combine that with her paralegal position
