A mini episode discussing some of the themes uncovered in Season One.

I'm joined by Pip Richardson, founder of The Circle Line, so I can talk to a professional about: rejection.

A wrap-up of what we learned from season one of No More Watercooler - observations on why our guests have been so open, and a surprising discovery for organisations who might find this valuable - and six key points that we've taken from those we've spoken to.

This week, I’m talking to Sera Miller, one of the co-founders of the Fawnbrake Collective - a freelance first business which builds bespoke teams for client challenges. We spoke about how different projects have different needs and different energy levels, how experimentation and trying new things out is essential, and why talking about how you’re feeling isn’t just for your own benefit.

This week, I’m talking to Sam Judge, an independent Design Director who has recently published the Disquiet: Hidden Depths of Man, a magazine discussing modern masculinity, and has struggled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We spoke how the terms like OCD and depression get thrown around inaccurately, his reasons for becoming self-employed, and the challenges that employers might face when wanting to look after their freelancers.

This week, I’m talking to Judit Saez, a freelancer who has chosen to work nomadically. Having spent some time in Mexico starting her new way of working, she’s currently based in Berlin. We spoke about her reasons for changing how she works, how to connect with new communities and new cultures when arriving in new cities, and the power of listening to your instinct.

This week, we’re speaking to Jess Sims and Laura West, co-founders of marketing agency The Doers.

Recorded just before the Christmas break, we chatting about opening a bottle of champagne when you’re accounts are done, how to approach maternity leave when it’s your own business, and how to support the freelancers you work along side - as they’re doing with their fantastic We Don’t Do Lonely coworking days.

We spoke to Adrian Cockle - a London based freelance digital consultant on redundancy as a trigger for freelancing, the importance of a support network, and being able to spot the signs of poor mental health.

We spoke to Liam O'Neill - a London based freelance digital creative and designer with Bipolar Disorder.

We spoke about how that affects his work, why sometimes scrolling up as as bad as scrolling down, and of course - we start with the question - how are you?

This week, we spoke to Rachelle Denton, co-founder of Storm Collective, on importance of having a partner, why being open with your team makes for better work, and the truth about side projects.

Matt Desmier is a recognised face on the UK's south coast digital scene. We caught up about getting expelled from school, turning down the offer of his own pub, and why he claims to be a benign dictator.
