How to be a Hustler

10/26/15 • 30 min

Episode 20 of 99% Perspiration

First up, I just have to say a huge thank-you to everyone who's stuck with us over the past couple of months - who've asked me "what's happened with the podcast?", or "when's the next episode coming out?"

I recently began working as an Academic Tutor at the University of Sunderland. That, alongside my arts role with ArtWorks-U, alongside my other radio projects, has found me working approx. 52 hours a week. So I've found myself stretched. But I'm determined to keep 99% Perspiration going, and going strong!

Thank you so much for sticking with the podcast, for listening, and for being so patient with me. Cannot tell me how much it means to me.

This week's guests:

"I have worked damn hard to get where I am. And I have hustled... A hustler just does stuff, they get stuff done, by any means possible. And I think that's my superpower."

Tiffany Rouge is the Marketing and Events Coordinator for the Hotel Richmond in Adelaide. Since this episode of 99% Perspiration was recorded, Tiffany has become a radio producer at Fresh 92.7.

"In a way, making a show-reel is redundant... You're better off putting your work into a big portfolio, on a website, because then people will be able to see on a project by project basis what your skills are."

Ed Westman is a freelance Video Content Creator based in Sunderland. At the moment, he’s the video producer with the University of Sunderland’s Marketing and Communications department.

And finally, our music this week is kindly donated by Huddersfield based dubstep band "MXI" - on Twitter, they are @WeAreMXI.

This is the first live special of 99% Perspiration. It was broadcast during Freshers' Week at the University of Sunderland, where I work as an Academic Tutor of radio. They invited us to create a special, live, one-off programme tailor-made to incoming students - "Making the Most of your Creative Degree".

A big thanks is in order for Matthew Donnachie and Grant Lowery, who were our sound-designers.

I'd love to hear back from you about whether this is useful (or not) if you're not based at the University of Sunderland - our Twitter is @99Podcast.
