#38 Fabion Turner: Financial Advisor with a Side of Cakes, Rugby Caps & Career Leaps

What do you call someone who’s been a national rugby player, a baker, a financial advisor, a meal prep chef, a rugby team manager, and a trained teacher? You call them Fabion Turner. In this episode, Fabion (aka Tino) shares the twists and turns of a career that doesn’t fit into one box — from turning down a job in China to take a finance role in Jamaica, to making wedding cakes that rivaled his banking salary, to managing Jamaica’s rugby team while still playing for it. Oh, and he somehow found time to do a Master’s degree and an internship at the same time. This one’s for the multi-hyphenates, the restless creatives, and anyone who’s ever wondered: “Am I doing too much?” New episodes are out every Wednesday, so until then—Stay Weird and Stay Ambitious, my friends ✌🏾 Follow Tino on IG: https://www.instagram.com/cups_and_cakes_by_tino/ [https://www.instagram.com/cups_and_cakes_by_tino/] Submit questions & stories for the pod! - https://forms.gle/Yuri4hvnP8zpiND7A [https://forms.gle/Yuri4hvnP8zpiND7A] #CareersAreWeird #Careers #Podcast #Corporate #Millennial #GenZ #Work #Linkedin #EarlyStageCareers #Jobs #Business #Baking #Chef #Insurance #Banking #Rugby #Athlete

#37 Ericka Felix: Moving Home Was the Career Reset I Needed

Ericka Felix’s career path proves that every job teaches you something — even when it doesn’t “look” professional. From managing a fast-food chain at 22 in Australia to teaching third graders, bartending on weekends, training customer service teams, and now leading administrative operations at an engineering firm in Mexico — Ericka has done it all. In this episode, we talk about the pressure to succeed straight out of uni, the mental load of living abroad, what it means to “go back home” without feeling like a failure, and why work-from-home isn’t for everyone. This one’s a reminder to stop rushing your career and trust that every weird job adds up. New episodes are out every Wednesday, so until then – Stay Weird and Stay Ambitious, my friends✌🏾 Submit questions & stories for the pod! - https://forms.gle/Yuri4hvnP8zpiND7A [https://forms.gle/Yuri4hvnP8zpiND7A] #CareersAreWeird #Careers #Podcast #Corporate #Millennial #GenZ #Work #Linkedin #EarlyStageCareers #Jobs #Business #Teaching #Admin #MovingHome

#36 Thabata Alves: A Customer Success Consultant Across Continents

This week, I’m joined by my good friend from uni, Thabata Alves, whose career journey proves that sometimes the first job is the right job. We talk about how Thabata went from graduating on a Thursday to starting her tech career on a Monday, her transition from Australia to London, and what it really means to be a Customer Success Consultant. She breaks down what she actually does, how she’s grown in the role over six years, and why building relationships at work is just as important as being good at your job. If you’ve ever wondered what customer success is (besides lunch meetings and client calls 😏), or if you’re looking for a stable path in tech—this one’s for you. New episodes are out every Wednesday, so until then—Stay Weird and Stay Ambitious, my friends ✌🏾 Connect with Thabata on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thabatazampolialves/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/thabatazampolialves/] Submit questions & stories for the pod! - https://forms.gle/Yuri4hvnP8zpiND7A [https://forms.gle/Yuri4hvnP8zpiND7A] #CareersAreWeird #Careers #Podcast #Corporate #Millennial #GenZ #Work #Linkedin #EarlyStageCareers #Jobs #Business #Tech #Product #CustomerSuccess #Consulting

#34 Thomas Kim: From Artillery Squad Leader to Freelance Sales Consultant

In 2021, Thomas was leading artillery squads in the South Korean military. In 2025, he's leading sales strategies for international clients as a freelance sales consultant. Careers are weird, right? In this episode, Thomas shares how he transitioned from military discipline to tech sales hustle, managing teams, cold calling in public, and developing market strategies across APAC. Now, he's embracing the uncertainty of funemployment, building his consultancy, and figuring out what’s next—one meditation session at a time. We talk about navigating career shifts, building confidence through rejection, and why being lost might just be the best place to start something new.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
