My guest today is Amy Watson, who is one half of the creative team behind Pickles Mag. An online video magazine exploring the future of food.   After experiencing a bit of an existential crisis, Amy decided too take her skills and her talents from journalism and video production and apply them to something she was passionate about. Her passion for food.   Growing from what she describes as almost an obsession, Amy really got involved with understanding issues surrounding food like sustainability and really wanted to and really wanted to explore sustainable food though the medium of video.   But instead of taking the leap as we're so often told to do, Amy decided to keep her day job while she started Pickles Mag on the side. Join Amy and I as we discuss themes such as applying your skills to positive impact work, knowing your limits, labels, the reality of making money and of course, finding how to do your good work through a side project.

This week I reflect on the theme of finding your people*. Why it's important, how we can do it and why it can so exciting when we do.

In this episode I introduce myself, what to expect from the podcast and a bit about how you can join the Good Work Revolution.

*Note: This episode was originally called 'Finding your Tribe'. I am now aware that using the word 'tribe' is not culturally appropriate. I have changed the title of the episode, but please note this work is still used in the episode itself.

I, like many other, am learning. Here's an article you can read if you'd like some context.
