Crafting a professional identity can be tough. Where are your potential clients? How do you find a job? How do you handle yourself in tense workplace dramas? What does a good CV look like? Well, breathe deeply, the Media Entrepreneurship class of 2018 is here to give you some answers - by doing it o…
Podcart — 2018’s Media Entrepreneurship morphed into 2019’s Career Kickstarter intensive. This time it didn’t include making a weekly podcast but doing a final round-up about how it had all gone seemed like a good idea. So, here it is. The 2019 reunion show – even before anyone has gone anywhere.
Podcart — Two months have passed, the elective is over. In good reality audio style, we sit down with the Mint Media team to tease out the highs, the lows, the fears faced and the friendships formed - and tested. And what was it like actually talking to real people? About money?
Podcart — It’s the oldest story in the world - one day you’re 18 and waiting for ‘someday’, and the next thing someday was yesterday, it’s the last week of university and you’re starting the rest of your life - and maybe a business too. But can you do it on your own? The answer is probably no. In episode four of Mint Source, we’re talking money and mentors, exploitation and execution - and that fine print that’s actually pretty important. It’s about managing teams, starting up and then all the downs that come with it. Take a listen and we’ll talk you through what it takes to start your own business in the big bad world, and how to protect your work the (copy)right way.
Podcart — The second best solution to a crisis, is to 'cry, Sis'. When you’re done weeping, the actual best method is to remember that life is one big balancing act - and there will always be ups and downs when you're starting a new business. In this episode, the challenges of setting up an agency become real. From the website taking longer than expected, to the struggles involved in trying to get jobs. Not to mention a minor misunderstanding which nearly resulted in this podcast not seeing the light of day! What got us back on track? Take a listen.
Podcart — As we continue on the rocky road to real life, Mint Media gets a website and two new people; the team makes a very cool intro video and, um, what have we forgotten? Oh yes, clients. We met some who actually seemed to want to give us work. But when do you mention the thing, you know, the 'M' word, (whisper it) money? mintmediasa.wixsite.com
Podcart — This is the story of a group of students taking their first steps on the fantastic journey that is working life. In this episode, we meet our new colleagues and try and work out who we are, what we are and what we're called. Plus, if we want people to buy from us, what is it that we're actually selling?
