Meet Fab Mackojc

While doing a corporate internship during university Fab happened to read a book called The 4-Hour Workweek which completely changed his perspective on the world and made him realise that a life working 9-5 was by no means mandatory for future success and happiness. He chose to turn down the grad job offered to him and not do any more tertiary education after graduating, a move which surprised a lot of his friends and family.

He worked for a few tech startups before eventually deciding to go overseas and do an intensive programming course called Dev Bootcamp. After a few months learning web development Fab decided to move to San Francisco to work as a software engineer for Groupon. This job eventually gave him the opportunity to working remotely and travel the world. Even with all the great perks though Fab realised that life as a web developer wasn't one that suited his strengths and personality so he decided to move back home to Melbourne and focus on his own projects.

He is about to release an effective cure for jet lag called Jetmojo and is the host and creator of The Journey podcast where he interviews millennials with unconventional career paths.

Leigh Sherman is back for our first follow up episode!

As we hit stop on episode 33 of Pathways Leigh went to take a call as part of the final stages for entry into Tech Stars, a prestigious accelerator program that has a reputation for taking small startup’s to the next level.

Leigh initially saw this as an opportunity to take the pantree.co team, and point 3 years of hard work at a well supported program rich with opportunity. What happened instead was a key moment for Leigh, one that he will continue to reflect 12 weeks that changed many things for him as a founder and CEO.

Miloš Marinković is a founder of Yor Health in Australia, an organisation devoted to helping people optimise their life through diet, and in particular, focused on gut health. The interesting thing about Milos's story is he was destined for a career in finance and engineering.

Milos talks about a pivotal moment where family illness saw him move his focus from a career and study focus of engineering and finance, and move to health and well being, a large shift from what he had learn't and known during his time as a student.

We cover some important topics in this episode, everything from the pressures of expectation from family, through to the reward of doing work for passion vs income. Milos is someone who walks all of the talk through actions, someone we can all learn from.
