This
week I speak with writer-facilitator-presenter, Matt
Trinetti. Matt is a TEDx speaker, he's helped establish the
Escape School at Escape The
City (**intro correction**), and continues to build and facilitate workshops
there. He delivers training programmes and talks to companies such
as Airbus, London School of Business and Unilever, to name a few.
He is also the co-founder and co-host of the London Writers'
Salon.
Matt
has had a varied career, which started at IBM after studying
engineering, and it wasn't until he received life-changing news
that he decided to make more deliberate choices. These choices led
him on an adventure around Europe and the start of his travel
blog, Give Live
Explore. His
purposeful journey resulted in a move from Chicago to London, where
he built a creative portfolio career around his
passions.
I see
Matt as the perfect person to offer advice to those that want to
follow a similar path - leaving the more traditional employee
workstyle behind and creating a career with personal
purpose.
In
the episode we chat about:
Why
he encourages people to share their intentions and wants in their
work and life
Seeing your work as projects as a way to experiment and
learn in public
The
hurdles you can face when changing careers and advice on how to
navigate them
His
alternative perspective to maintaining a competitive edge by
continually adding value and asking how to help others
A
huge thank you to Matt for taking the time to chat with me. I know
his thoughts and insights will be so useful to those that want to
escape the city.
I
hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do, please make sure to
leave a rating and review. Doing so helps me create more podcast
episodes and spreads the word so others can discover the
podcast.
