Episode Synopsis
Introducing How did you do that? A new podcast about people stepping out of the traditional career path to create their own or goal it alone.
Meet Simon and Gethyn - the pods creators and co-hosts - reflecting on their own versions of this journey.
Simon is a Gen Z who had a very unrewarding couple of Covid-era years at University before deciding to drop out early in order to focus on developing his own marketing and development business, working mainly in motorsport.
Gethyn is Gen X, spending much of his career in short term, stressful roles in the charity sector before finally leaving traditional employment and going freelance in 2020. He still works mainly for non-profits, albeit in a consulting capacity, offering a very different work/life balance.
Though from different generations Simon and Gethyn realised they had a lot in common - the stresses of making the leap to going solo, the unknowns around starting your own business, the effort it takes to wrench yourself from a traditional, structured career path.
In this episode you’ll hear their back stories in their own words - where they’ve been, what they’ve done, how they’ve failed and what they’ve learned - revealing their hopes and fears in ways both personal and universal.
And in the following episodes we’ll meet a host of different individuals who have done something similar, all with their own stories to tell.
