No one teaches creatives how to manage money, build networks or reframe how we see our work. 🎙️ That’s what this week’s episode with David Thomas is all about. Listen on Spotify, Apple or YouTube 🎧

I need to post more on this! Hope everyone is having a great week! As lot of us know creative work comes with a lot of guessing especially when it comes to managing money and networking. This week’s episode really helps unpack it all, and I can’t wait to put this one out. 🎙️ Dropping Wednesday.

This is producers who are lost, struggling, leaving the industry. Now talk to writers, actors, crews... If something isn't done to change things right now, there will be no TV industry left... www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m...

Really terrific article on the future of soaps by @callikitson.bluesky.social where I argue alongside Rosie Marcel - the mighty Jac Naylor - that the answer to the crisis isn’t axing shows and timidity. It’s investing in a new soap and bravery. Check it out 👇 metro.co.uk/2024/11/19/s...

Can someone make a starter pack for people I followed on Twitter circa 2011?
