On today's show, I'm speaking with journalist and historian, Lucy Fulford about her non-fiction book, The Exiled. In The Exiled, Lucy delves into understanding the Asian expulsion from Uganda in 1972, which saw 80,000 South Asian Ugandans being given just 90 days to leave the country, by the dictator, Idi Amin. She goes way back, uncovering how the British empire led to so many South Asians finding home in Uganda, but how it also impacted the structure of Ugandan society and the impact on black Ugandans. The book is a mixture of Lucy's own family history, interviews she has undertaken, and copious amounts of research. The book takes us from pre-1972 Uganda, to the expulsion itself and beyond 1972, as countless families in the UK and elsewhere strived to build a new life. This is a really thorough and nuanced exploration of that part of history, also sprinkled with Lucy's own musings on race, identity. Lucy is an experienced multimedia journalist and filmmaker whose work centres on migration, conflict and climate.After graduating from the University of Bristol with a first-class honours degree in History – writing a dissertation on the Rwandan genocide – she studied media law, shorthand and reporting with the NCTJ and worked as a senior reporter and acting editor of a press agency, covering breaking news, crime and courts for the national press in London. Growing up between cultures has led to an interest in exploring identity and in her book, The exiled, she explores the generational legacy of forced migration, inspired in part by her family history.Support the show

In today's empowering and inspiring conversation is with award-winning NCTJ-qualified journalist and brand strategist Sophie Turton, from brand storytelling agency Electric Peach, we cover: How Electric Peach started and what challenges it is addressing. How to combat the fear of putting yourself out there if you are suffering from purpose-hushing. How a brand or business should go about communicating its purpose, or talking about its sustainability creds. How the marketing industry - particularly in agency land - can move the dial away from competitiveness (where there is only one winner) and towards collaboration (where we all win in some way), when it comes to the betterment of the planet. What gets Sophie out of bed in the morning and does she think there is such a thing as a truly sustainable business, yet?

In this episode of Start Scale Succeed, Nicole is joined by Claire Winter, a trainer, coach and host of the Cracking Content podcast. Claire helps coaches, creatives, and product-based businesses to amplify their message through storytelling, content and PR, so they can make a bigger impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stories are twenty-two times more memorable than facts. And sixty-two percent of conversations involve stories. It’s the way we communicate as people so you should use it in your content. The best storytellers use the structure of Joseph Campbell’s ‘Hero’s Journey’. Storytelling engages your audience. It takes them on a journey, it evokes memories and feelings. Bring your audience along with you rather than just telling them facts. Claire believes that audio is the best medium to get your story across to an audience. They’re already engaged with you and have brought you into their lives. Don’t be afraid to recycle content from podcasting for example and use it in other forms of media. BEST MOMENTS ‘What is your USP? What differentiates you? That’s your story’ ‘Start with why. Why do you do what you do’ ABOUT THE GUEST Claire Winter is a trainer, coach and host of the Cracking Content podcast. She is passionate about helping coaches and creative entrepreneurs to amplify their expertise through storytelling, content and PR so that they can get more sales and make a bigger impact. Claire uses a blended coaching and mentoring approach to ignite her client's creativity so they can share their authentic voice and story. She is a trained NCTJ journalist and started her career at ITN in radio and television.

Today's episode is a wee bit different as I'm interviewing a fellow podcaster, Andrew Gold, who is also a collector of stories!  We met over on Instagram and have been a guest on his show too. I also love his podcast show “On The Edge” he has a great interviewing style and his guests are always fascinating. In this episode we discuss some of the thought provoking people he's interviewed, whether he should give some of his interviewees the air time and does he have a favourite guest?  He is a multi-lingual TV presenter, podcaster and documentary maker with a keen interest in extreme beliefs and touching controversial ground.  He's made and presented short documentaries on UFOs and the porn industry for HBO, and his hour-long BBC 3 documentary exposing an abusive exorcist in the impoverished suburbs of Buenos Aires won festival awards and placed in the channel's Best of the Year list.  He took English at Leeds Uni and later did his NCTJ journalism qualification, before starting his career at the much-maligned The Sun. He hated it, and went back to work in France, before stints in Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Berlin, where he now lives with his Argentine partner of six years, Julieta. Some key points from our interview:·        How he struggled with OCD tendencies as a teenager but believes it helps him in a positive way now with his work·        How he loves quirky and controversial people but also people that can share their wisdom who are thriving after adversity·        How he learnt a lot from watching his favourite podcasters in the field, especially Louis Theroux·        How he's passionate about sharing stories that are thought provoking  You can get more info about Andrew here:  https://www.andrewgoldpodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l78hW8qVIWI                                 *                                     *                                             *                                 *"Unbroken: Healing Through Storytelling" features  individuals who have all triumphed after adversity and have not just bounced back in life, but forward and are now making a difference for others.Hosted by Madeleine Black, the show will share stories of all the amazing people Madeleine has met on her own journey as an author/speaker and these stories will heal, motivate, inspire and bring hope when they share their wisdom and knowledge with her.She really believes in the power that comes when we share our stories, that in fact we are not story tellers but story healers.
