My Amazing Mess is a podcast hosted by actor and producer Laura Allen and singer/songwriter and actor Liv Austen. In this episode we talk to Tom Rainsford, who is one of the founders of the mobile network giffgaff, and was the company's brand director and creative director for 10 years. He is now the marketing director for Beavertown Brewery, and directed the music video for Jack Savoretti's song Youth and Love (feat. Mika). He opens up about a very interesting past of football playing, contemporary dance training and playing in bands, and how he ended up working in marketing, but making it as creative a job as possible!

Messy Musings - In The Room

My Amazing Mess is a podcast hosted by actor and producer Laura Allen and singer/songwriter and actor Liv Austen. Every Friday we release our Messy Musings, where we discuss different aspects of being a self employed creative. In this episode we talk about being in the room. Interviewing, proving your skills, that moment when you have to prove to people in real life that you deserve that job, a place on that course, or whatever it might be that you are trying to get. How can you be the best version of you in the room? Are those tips you hear again and again really helpful, and how do you interpret them? Laura and Liv discuss their experiences and ideas.

Messy Musings - Always Learning

My Amazing Mess is a podcast hosted by actor and producer Laura Allen and singer/songwriter and actor Liv Austen. Every Friday we release our Messy Musings, where we discuss different aspects of being a self employed creative. In this episode we talk about learning. Creatives know well (maybe better than most) that you never stop learning in your job. We discuss the different ways of learning. Is formal training always the way? Or is learning on the job just as good? What if you have many different interests - how do you choose what to train in and when you have to accept that you will be going in to your first jobs fairly green, ready to learn? We would love to hear your thoughts on learning - comment on our Instagram or email us your thoughts at [email protected]!
