January 08, 2018 #19 Eleanor Davis: How to Be Happy
We’re back at it again with the Design Special: Meet The Cartoonists.

I’m joined by illustrator and Cartoonist Eleanor Davis. Eleanor is the author of the New York Times Bestseller How To Be Happy; she has also written You and a Bike and a Road, and The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook. Her work has been included in five issues of Fantagraphics' anthology MOME as well as Houghton Mifflin's Best American Comics in 2008. Comics Critic Richard Bruton said that Eleanor is "without question, a major young creator.".

In today’s episode, we discuss what Eleanor is working on improving right now. We touch on feelings of guilt following Trump’s election.
The subject turns to self-care and political activism. Eleanor opens up about her struggle to meet her goals now that she’s more politically engaged. From this episode, you’ll learn how to stay healthy while being an activist. Two neat ways to trick your brain into making self-care habit (or any habit) stick. We also cover why it’s essential you learn how to use kinder language when speaking about yourself. It’s a dynamic and joyful episode so enjoy!

January 03, 2018 #18 Leslie Hung: Finding and Keeping Your Passion
I have to apologise for this episode in advance. The audio file with my voice got corrupted, and we lost all of my audio so unfortunately, this episode doesn’t have the same conversational feel as the rest. The show must go on, and I genuinely believe it’s better to be consistent so I’ve made it work.
Leslie had so much great advice and wisdom to share with budding cartoonists. I’ve narrated all of the best. The episode is broken down into ten parts, and you’ll learn how you can make money from your drawings, how to resolve conflicts when you’re collaborating, how to get your comics and illustrations published and much more.
To find out more about Leslie visit milkmanner.tumblr.com or follow her on Instagram @dairyfree. You can purchase Snotgirl on Amazon; I recommend the collection. Make sure you’re subscribed to Wanna Be on iTunes, Spotify, google play, acast or your favourite podcast app to catch the next episode featuring NYT Bestselling Graphic novelist and illustrator Eleanor Davis.

December 20, 2017 #14 Don't Jealous Me: Published in 4 Weeks (Tolulope Ogunmefun)
Key takeaways from the episode are how to get published in 4 weeks. Creating viral content and why it’s essential for you to create content that feels natural and fluent to you. Being consistent and knowing how to evolve.

Tolulope Ogunmefun is known all over the world by his online social media name “Don’t Jealous Me”. He launched his YouTube channel in 2008, and it has been viewed over 41 million times. He has been entertaining fans, both young and old, with hilarious comedy sketches and vlogs. However, the YouTube popularity became challenging on a personal level as he became known as just being Don't Jealous Me when in fact he had so much more to offer.
He tried to get into acting but was getting turned down regularly audition after audition which led to him having to take time out to find himself. He stopped posting as regularly on Youtube and decided to work on his real dream of acting. The hustle finally paid off and led to him getting a significant role in popular Sky One sitcom Sick Note and an upcoming BBC 3 series called Man Like Mobeen. After the life challenges and subsequent breakthroughs, Tolu decided to develop a new inspirational project.

To find out more about Tolulope’s work you can follow him on Twitter and Instagram @dontjealousme. Get a copy of The Frog and his Dancing Shoes on djmbooks.com. The book is an inspirational tale of friendship and jealousy. Again If you haven’t checked out episode 13 yet I highly recommend it, we cover his online controversy, big breaks and rebranding.

Next week I’m joined by brand and marketing expert Prisca Moyesa, if you’re listening in real-time, please do get your career questions or concerns submitted before Saturday. To send your questions wannabepodcast.com and hit Ask Prisca or email [email protected].
