I’m pretty obsessed with talking to people about their amazing careers and how they made things happen for themselves.
Nothing gets me more excited than someone fulfilling their dream role or taking a road less travelled in the world of work. But I find that the stories out there can often skip the details, the bits about how people made it work financially, or the part where they did something pretty ordinary that led to something pretty exceptional.
So I’ve interviewed six amazing guests who changed lanes from one set pathway to a creative or purpose-led job role. Each episode will be available on Spotify, Apple and Acast as a podcast and on YouTube as a vodcast.
In this episode, Jen is joined by her good friend Vicki Sargent to talk about her journey from baking cakes for a living, to becoming a full-time feature film writer.
Vicki talks about the signs that made her realise she was on the wrong path, the lightbulb moments that helped her to change direction, and the power of quitting.
She also reflects on the TV shows and famous quotes that signposted her journey, and the jobs she had to take to get to where she is now.
Vicki Sargent is in a screenwriting partnership with Matt Mitchell. You can find out more about their work on their agents page at Gemma Hirst Associates.
