04/14/22 • 57 min
This week we have award-winning podcaster Anand Dattani on the pod and we are talking about podcasting, a very meta episode right here. Anand and I met actually on Clubhouse back when I was the hot spot in town and I’ve actually been on his podcast discussing my own immigrant story. Anand’s show ‘The Journey Onwards’ in an interview show where Third Culture Kids talk about what they have learned through their experience and their families’ experiences when they decided to leave their home country and move to a new one.
On this interview we spoke about:
- How Anand got into podcasting
- How he developed his very human interviewing style
- Which famous friend influenced him (you probably know him as well)
- How he learned to podcast (shout out to RTP!)
- Where he sees creative education going and the beauty of asking questions

a photographer? with Sarah Tulej
It’s that time of the week again and today we are talking to Sarah Tulej, a brand photographer originally from the UK currently living in Rotterdam. From a young age, she had a passion for photography but it wasn’t until she was in her 30’s that she took a career change course in London (trust me, it’s a good story) that she decided to take the jump into professional photography. Sarah’s story is really inspiring and I hope you enjoy it!
On this interview we spoke about:
- Her journey to become a professional photographer
- The particular set of skills that separate Sarah from other photographers (spoiler alert! It’s not tech related)
- How she build her skills following her curiosity
- The research she did before taking the plunge into a new career
- The financial aspect of changing careers
- Sarah’s experience as a mentor and where she draws the line between mentor and teacher
