This week we’re hyped to be joined by solopreneur comedy agent Daisy Francis. 

Daisy is a comedy agent meaning she represents comedic talent helping them to get work. It’s an interesting field and a great chat. In this, the second half of our chat, we focus on her first job with 'The Improverts' and how she took on lots of managing responsibility quickly. We talk about her year abroad and how that offered different perspectives and dive into how London-centric (for good or ill) the comedy and creative industries are.

This week, we're excited to be chatting to Max Klymenko. Max is an Economics and Tech Researcher for Accenture; he runs his own marketing agency - Klym&Co. and has risen to social media fame on TikTok and Instagram focusing on educational and entertaining content blending humour with learning. Earning nearly 2 million TikTok followers in the process, he's clearly doing something right.

In this second half of our chat, we discuss communicating his identity as a person to a large audience, showing people who you are rather than telling them, we ge the low down on his popular persuasion trick series and delve into the mental health crisis (especially around young people) in the UK and discuss the differences between the UK and Ukraine. Let's go! >>

In this half of our chat, we discuss balancing TikTok with a corporate job and Klym&Co. and the demands and expectations they bring. We spoke about the rise of TikTok and how the platform has changed,  as well as the demands of big brands to go viral when entering TikTok as a new platform. We hope you enjoy and thank Max for taking the time to have such an insightful chat with us :) Let's go! >>

This week we speak to Jesse Pihkanen and Joonatan Halonen, students who share their experience as BBA students in Finland. We explore the difference between Finnish and British business education and how theirs is a more practical,  hands-on experience in the world of business as opposed to the academic nature of British university. We talk start-ups with 20 people and they provide an insight into their business ventures so far.

In the second half of our chat with Alex and Charlotte from Endeavours Student Adventures, we dive deeper into their motivations to disrupt the student raising and giving travel market. As well as how they work together to create and maintain a positive outlook and environment. Something increasingly hard in the COVID era. 

Loads of value and motivation here - enjoy!

Sanjana continues in this second part of our chat to discuss her project, You Humanity. Collecting 1000 stories of kindness and shaping a different narrative around the pandemic. In this episode, a key focus is asking what the difference is between passion and purpose and defining a vision for a passion project. 

How often do you consider your common humanity? Probably not that often, right? This week we are joined by Sanjana from You Humanity. She is on a mission to collect 1000 stories of kindness and to show another side to the COVID pandemic. We talk about finding positivity in negativity, meeting yourself where you are, working full-time whilst managing passion projects and more. 

Connect with Sanjana @youhumanityofficial and @iamsanjananarang on Instagram. Lots of love for this chat, we hope you enjoy! R&J x
