Chat 70: Manisha: A business and economics teacher, and online tutoring business owner...

Despite working in a bank for a short while after graduating, Manisha decided she'd like to become a teacher, and teach her (degree-based) knowledge of business and economic to others.... So she did, and in doing that, Manisha found her 'thing', her 'people' and her 'tribe'. And from there her career took off, as did her after-hours tutoring.Nearly 5 years later, her business offers tutoring in most academic subjects, and covers from primary school right through to the first year of degree level.Please meet Manisha.....** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.

Like our previous mash-ups, this is where we showcase a whole load of gems and snippets from the podcasts this year.(The last mash-up was back in June, so this is a selection of pod snippets from June to December.. In case you're interested).If you're new to TWWork, then our mash-ups are a brilliant gateway drug into what we do and what we're trying to achieve. Which is to give helpful, inspirational career advice to anyone that needs it.The snippets, in order (as they appear), are from the following pods:Liz, Florist = Pod 45Anna, Tarot reader = Pod 46Anna, Tarot reader = Pod 46Charlie, Midwife = Pod 47Charlie, Midwife = Pod 47Maya, Functional Medicine entrepreneur = Pod 48Maya, Functional Medicine entrepreneur = Pod 48Emma, Doggy daycare = Pod 49Henna, Dentist = Pod 50Henna, Dentist = Pod 50Sophie, Teacher = Pod 52Jo, ex-Teacher = Break Room 4Jo, ex-Teacher = Break Room 4Lisa, Dress maker = Pod 53Lisa, Dress maker = Pod 53Lisa, Dress maker = Pod 53Nicola, Acupuncturist = Pod 54Nicola, Acupuncturist = Pod 54Katie, Estate agent & Healer = Pod 55Katie, Estate agent & Healer = Pod 55Helen, Art Dealer = Pod 57Helen, Art Healer = Pod 57Nicky, Recruitment = Break Room 5Nicky, Recruitment = Break Room 5Nicky, Recruitment = Break Room 5Ali, Pole Dance teacher = Pod 58Ali, Pole Dance teacher = Pod 58Katie, Reflexologist = Pod 59Katie, Reflexologist = Pod 59Bryony, Music journalist = Pod 60Bryony, Music journalist = Pod 60Jody, Medical herbalist = Pod 61Jody, Medical herbalist = Pod 61Simon, Hairdresser = Pod 62Simon, Hairdresser = Pod 62Katie, Caterer = Pod 65Katie, Caterer = Pod 65Jim & Janet, Retired (& Chops' neighbours) = Break Room 6Jim & Janet, Retired (& Chops' neighbours) = Break Room 6Jim & Janet, Retired (& Chops' neighbours) = Break Room 6Abi, Professional organiser = Pod 68Abi, Professional organiser = Pod 68Nick, Business mentor = Break Room 7Nick, Business mentor = Break Room 7George, Deep sea worker = Pod 69George, Deep sea worker = Pod 69Kirsty, Sign language interpreter = Pod 71Kirsty, Sign language interpreter = Pod 71Kirsty, Sign language interpreter = Pod 71Huge thanks for all your support over what has been a brilliant year...

Nick's journey into scaling and exiting business started with a need to change what he was doing, and attending a Tony Robbins event on a friend's recommendation. Prior to that he'd had a successful corporate career.Since 'Tony', Nick's journey has taken him far and wide, and he is now paid mega BIG BUCKS to advise global corporations how to scale and run either start-up investments, existing business, or how to manage businesses to exit and sell.In this Break Room, which Nick kindly spared the time for Chops (as an old friend), we get as much advice as we can on what to do right, what to look out for, and what to learn from the most, when starting and running a business. And it all really comes back to us... to you!Please meet Nick......** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.

When we went to Abi (pod 68), we briefly met her partner, George... And before we sat down, Abi casually dropped into conversation that George is a deep sea worker, who professional dives and repairs BIG mega structures underwater for a living.Woah, woah, woah... George, hold the line, don't go anywhere!But that's not the only mad thing about George, because before diving, he used to organise (illegal, but were they, really?) raves and make and produce dance/rave music... and earn good money from it.Great chat from a great chap.

Abi's childhood working and running overseas student farms in Cambridgeshire with her family (niche, right?), meant that she grew up fundamentally interested in people and being around people... and helping people.And when she left the family business to make a go of things on her own, that experience led her into social care, community care and healing massage.... She still wanted/needed to help people.Home organising, or rather, professional organising, has the potential to combine all of the skills she used on her family business and in her adult life since: organising people, organising activity, teaching people, and ultimately, helping people. And Abi LOVES it!Please meet Abi.....** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.

Darren and Sarah's enthusiasm for the outdoors, and for physical activity - in the fresh air - is contagious. They live and breath what they do.Although it's clear that Darren is the driving force behind the business, and some might say (Sarah might say), the driving force behind the madness; you quickly realise how much he relies on Sarah as a voice of reason and as his anchor.They're a fab couple, on a fab mission, to give normal people a fab experience... Which they do, every single time.With special thanks to Darren & Sarah and everyone at: https://www.forestfacility.com....** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.

Even though Chops firmly believes Jim & Janet are the best neighbours ever, it's still a bit odd having them on TWWork as podcast guests... Not least because they're retired and long out of the daily grind of working life - right?Wrong. They know a lot! About life and working life, and even though they're retired, they still have business relationships at play, and are still hugely aware of what's going on in the world. They are well-educated, smart, open-minded people, who have a sincere interest in the world and their community. And their take on human connectivity today vs 'their day' was really interesting to hear.For a first, 'soft' attempt, with Jim and Janet (to ensure they didn't back out or freak out), we think it went well. Yes multiple bottles of prosecco were consumed, but that's by-the-by.Please welcome Jim and Janet to TWWork.** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.

Louise's story is a mixture of creative talent, hard work and... well, chance.Because although she carved out her own successful career prior to the world of reclamation, it was a chance meeting and a chance friendship (that later became a romantic relationship) that ultimately brought her to where she is today.And even though she joined her (now) husband's successful reclamation business later on in life (10-years ago), Louise brought with her a wealth of creative talent and retail experience that has enabled the business to evolve and further flourish... And is enabling them to now build their dream home, which will be (as far as possibly) built and made entirely out of reclaimed materials.Please meet Louise.** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.

Judging by the smells in Katie's home kitchen when we podded her, it's no wonder Katie is so busy with her catering business.A catering business which to this day makes her family laugh, because as a child, and a young teen, Katie had no interest in food or cooking. Her parents also aren't caterers, so this whole career path came out of the blue.... Although not entirely. Katie talks about being creative as a child, particularly with textiles, and so whether she realised it or not, she was always going to end up thriving in a role that allowed her to express the creative part of herself.But it didn't happen quickly, and it didn't happen overnight... Quite a few 'normal' jobs went through Katie's path before she ended up catering for big events and booked-up months in advance.Please meet Katie.** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.

Kerry's products and her approach are highly sought after. They're beautifully unique and beautifully executed... Hence why she ships them all over the world.She refused to follow the traditional 'upholstering' path - despite being advised by MANY people to do that - and instead she's carved out her own path, and stayed true to it. And it's now paying dividends, because as well as custom upholstery, she's getting asked for collaborations and home styling advice... and much more.As Kerry says in the chat, she's worked hard to create a 'brand', and now where that brand takes her is an open road.Please meet Kerry.** Music used is under licence by TWW from Audiio.com.
