We don't know about you, but we knew very little about how the poetry world works and learned a lot from this and you will too, especially when coming from an under represented background.

In it we talk about so many things, with the power of poetry coming through! ⁠We can't wait for you to hear it!

⁠

- Using poetry as a way to deal with her own struggles and how it saved her life

- From being a history teacher to performing to the queen⁠

- The power of creative writing and story telling⁠

- What makes her happier⁠ and her thoughts on mental fitness

- Using her platform to make positive change in the world⁠

- Writing her own book and ⁠her creative process⁠

⁠

Jaspreet is a true inspiration! ⁠She is an award-winning spoken word artist and writer from East London. She is also an educator and has taught History, Sociology and Politics in secondary schools across London. With an academic background in both history and gender studies and a passion for social justice, Jaspreet has been committed to using her writing and spoken word to tackle gender discrimination, mental health stigma, the postcolonial immigrant experience, and taboo issues within the South Asian community.

⁠

She is @behindthenetra on Instagram and her website is Behindthenetra.com, lots of her work is on there and her book 'Brown Girl Like Me' is coming out later this year, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

We felt like we were in Hollywood! We’re very excited to share with you how Tamzin got started (she took her career into her own hands, like a true creative entrepreneur), what the film and TV business is like, any tips she has for anyone looking to get into those businesses and what creativity means to her.

Her 3 recommends were:

1. Women who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. The book is huge, but magical apparently. The audio book was recommended too.
   
2. Ted talks - Brene Brown - the power of vulnerability was a firm favourite.
   
3. Quote from Martha Graham - have a read about it here. It is beautiful. Tamzin says it in the episode too. 

*This is the last episode in the series (booo) - be sure to listen to the previous ones if you haven’t*

Her work has been on Channel 4, tattoo fixer on E4 (excited to hear about that!) and her Creative Planner was listed in the Top 10 Planners for 2020 by Stylist Magazine! She also runs her own graphic design studio. 

This is a really lovely chat with a female indie business owner, trying to make her mark on the world. We talk about how she got started, her creative process, marketing, networking, balancing creative time & business time (a constant dilemma for any creative!) and hear a funny story about a dog at the end! 

Emily recommended 3 great podcasts too. 

How I Built This by Guy Raz - Diana and I love this! 

The Me & Orla podcast from Sara Tasker - she has a lovely voice apparently and lots of social media tips

She is currently on a mission to create a movement of change powered by breathwork and is a creative strategist. She runs a business called the Breathery, which is a gateway for people to find out what truly makes them say ‘Hell-yes!’ and be their true selves. She’s been on a journey from running her own branding agencies, helping to build websites, brand stories and marketing campaigns for big brands like Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green, to burning out, twice, along the way. But the Breathery was founded upon the discoveries of the joys of breathwork and its benefits, something which Sam and I both enjoy doing too! 

We chat through breathwork, branding, burn out, building a community, what creativity means to her and lots more!

If you're in a little bit of a quandary on what your purpose in life is, breathwork may help you see some light. 

There is a little bit of barking in the background from Jo's dogs Rosie and Bruno, but don't worry, they were just really pumped that Jo's story was being shared!

Check out Jo's instagram @thebreathery and if you'd like to give breathwork a try, she does a free online class every Friday at 10.30am at the moment, sign up for details via her newsletter on her website or go straight to her newsletter sign up here.

Jo also mentions a couple of times the story telling framework (The hero's journey) from Joseph Campbell, you can find out more about that here.

He is host of the number 1 ranked entrepreneurial podcast - Screw it, Just do it - and runs his own podcast agency, along with being a mentor to many startups. It felt like an honour to have a podcast guru on our show so early on and we know Alex from when we used to do work together with Virgin StartUp, Richard Branson’s not-for-profit entrepreneurial arm, which supports founders with advice, funding and mentoring. He’s had the likes of Holly Tucker from NOTHS, Richard Reed from Innocent, Jamie Laing from Made in Chelsea & Candy Kittens sweets and the inspirational Lewis Howes from the US, who Diana loves, on his own podcast. 

Alex has had quite the journey through life and we reckon you can learn a lot from it! From being a journalist with BBC Radio Wales, to nearly 16 years as cabin crew with Virgin Atlantic flying all over the world before taking redundancy when he was 39, to re-inventing himself numerous times and setting up his own sports injury clinic, to supporting startups and finally, inhale, having his own inspiring podcast and podcast agency. 

We’re excited for what’s coming up, to learn how Alex has basically re-invented himself so many times and how he has lead such a unique life so far.

We run through:

- Finding what you want to do and re-inventing yourself

- Podcasting and why it is so popular

- Setting up a business and connecting with others

- Life hacks, to help you get to the lifestyle you want

- The future for Alex and where people can find out more about him

To find out more about Alex, search for Alex Chisnall on Linkedin.

He is a contemporary visual artist and all round, self-taught creative, with painting, digital illustration and sculpting being his specialities. He is based in Peckham and we got to know him when we had a neighbouring studio. His dedication to his craft and what he produces always amazed Diana & I. Check out @INxSANIxTY on Instagram before you have a listen, to get a sense for the amazing art he creates.

Sani chats through how he thinks about creating, how he makes his art, how he felt he was always meant to be an artist, how he ended up being a full-time creative and found his calling, where his inspiration comes from, his Nigerian roots, what it’s like being a full time creative and the compromises he doesn’t make. He also chats through how creativity can be used for good and how he feels about Black Lives Matter, along with some advice for aspiring creatives and so much of his thinking. His energy and passion for being creative is brilliant.

We hope that it is helpful in making you think more creatively in your life and business and how once you have a clear vision, you should stick to it.
