During this lockdown I was lucky enough to 'sit down' with Julia Hobsbawm OBE is an acclaimed entrepreneur and author who put the concept of Social Health – connected behaviour as a form of wellbeing and productivity – on to the map.We got to discuss what life is like during lockdown while launching a book, Julia's TED Talk, 'Info Obesity' being mentored by Maya Angelou (YES MAYA ANGELOU!), and hanging out with my idol, Oprah Winfrey. Julia was once the legendary author Maya Angelou's book publicist and she first learned the 1950s’ design principle K.I.S.S. It stood for ‘Keep it Simple, Stupid’ – a term Angelou changed into the more elegant ‘Keep it Simple, Sweetie’. a concept that this book is hinged on. The Simplicity Principle is an essential guide for developing a clear, calm approach in life. It will help you achieve maximum creativity and improved focus in a world that tests the cognitive capacity of humans to their limit.I absolutely LOVED this conversation and I hope you get a lot from it, the principles in the book have already changed my life!Grab the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Simplicity-P...Audiobook: https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Simp...YOU CAN HEAR THE FULL PODCAST ON THE GO HERE:

So after 35 years on this earth, I found out I may have a condition called Dyspraxia, a developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD) which is a common disorder that affects your movement and co-ordination. Also symptoms of Dyslexia and ADHD, which I didn't know were symptoms! It actually makes so much sense now that I know what it is & heard others experiences.. struggling to complete sentences, foggy memory... coordination, balance, organisation, focus etc. This all falls under 'neurodivergence' - Neurodivergence includes Attention Deficit Disorders, Autism, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia.It finally all makes sense... I am so glad to have found this out and did some research.. its actually improved things a little :) Thanks to all my twitter followers for being so helpful with this, helping me identify it and provide resources (below)I've edited this video less so you can hear what my natural cadence is when filming these vlogs & the podcastLet me know your experience & thoughts in the comments below!More information on Dyspraxia, ADHD & Dyslexia:https://dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/http://dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/dyspraxia-adults/https://www.facebook.com/DyspraxiaFoundationAdults/https://www.readandspell.com/dyspraxia-in-adultshttps://www.nhs.uk/conditions/developmental-coordination-disorder-dyspraxia-in-adults/https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/symptoms/https://www.qandadhd.com/diagnostic-criteriahttps://thefutureisnd.com/YOU CAN HEAR THE FULL PODCAST ON THE GO HERE:

Red Bull Amaphiko Academy is an 8 day course for grassroots social entrepreneurs in the UK who are making a positive difference in their community. The Academy aims to give them the inspiration, mentorship and practical skills and tools they need to take themselves and their projects to the next level.There were 15 social entrepreneurs taking part in the academy, and I was lucky enough to feature a couple of them on my show to discuss their projects and purpose.In todays episode I sit down with James Marshall founder of 10T which creates cool clothes from old tents left at festivals.The project tries to address the wasted textile problem throughout different industries in the UK by developing these wasted materials into streetwear. 10T’s first project this year we are collecting tents left at music festivals and developing these into jackets, bum bags and bucket hats. It was estimated that 250,000 tents were left at music festivals in 2018 alone and 90% of this material goes to landfill and incinerator. This material can still be used and the majority of the tents left have only be used for the festival and the material is of good quality. James studied a Masters degree in Environmental Sustainability and saw the figures for textile waste in the UK. he has also been involved in fashion his whole life. He worked in fashion retail for 5 years and he was a model for Established London for a year so he always had a love fashion and he knew he was interested in the industry. This is why he came up with the concept of 10T, to combine his knowledge on waste management and create a clothing company.Website: https://www.10tonline.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/10tonline/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/10Tonline/posts/PODCAST:

The triple threat. However, everything Alvin lacked monetarily, he made up for in drive and raw ambition.. The Advantage Group aims to break barriers and transform the Narrative of young people. They provide a number of fun and impactful workshops tailored to the needs of specific groups of young people. This has been done through their 3 day annual academy, their school tour and their year long development programme. They also work closely with small to large organisations to help create pipelines and access for these young people, this helps provide opportunities for young people. In doing this, they have addressed the problem at a very early stage (ages 15-19). They will begin creating a online school planner to distribute to schools which incorporates their sessions. Often planting a seed that will inevitably be watered as they progress through later education/training. We have also addressed the systemic issues that result in the employability issues faced by these groups.Website: https://www.theadvantagegrp.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theadvantagegrpTwitter: https://twitter.com/TheAdvantageGrpPODCAST:

Hey Creators! We're back today with an awesome conversation with Sahil Lavingia. Sahil is CEO & Founder of @Gumroad, a platform for creatives, like you, to make money from your work.

It’s so nuts to think that we are officially one year old

Today we sit down with Grime legend and visual pioneer Risky Roadz and discuss everything from picking up his camera for the first time to learning how to edit while publishing DVDs, to directing music videos with Skepta, Theophilus London, Giggs and more.

*This episode was originally published on Mon Aug 20 2018*Welcome back to another episode of For The Creators, where it’s our job to demystify creativity. In these long form conversations, we tease out tips and tricks from all kinds of creatives whether they’re Musicians, Presenters, Actors, Directors, DJs, Writers, Entrepreneurs and everything in between.In this episode I sit down with MC Buskin, one third of the UK Garage group the Heartless Crew. As pioneers of UK Garage, Heartless Crew played a fundamental role in the rise of the genre and they continue to be respected globally for their contributions to the UK music scene. I have been a fan of the Heartless Crew since I was in secondary school and listening to them on Mission FM, but I had never really heard their story. So, I was really interested in finding out more about how it all started and how they were able to have a major influence on a genre of music, at such a young age.I took Bushkin on a trip down memory lane and got an insight into his childhood, his musical influences, the formation of the Heartless Crew, the rise of the Crew and why they eventually decided to go their separate ways in 2011. This was definitely a nostalgic interview for me, but I am extremely proud that I got the chance to do it. I learned so much about Bushkin, the other members of the crew and the music scene in the 90s and 2000s during our conversation, and I genuinely hope that you do to.So, without further ado, please enjoy my sit-down with, MC Bushkin from the Heartless Crew.
