WHY I’M BUILDING THIS
How do you build a career you’re proud of? Get better with money? Start something of your own? Build stronger relationships? Find your feet when life doesn’t go to plan?
These are questions I have myself. And I know I’m not the only one.
The ATB Show is where we work through life’s challenges by learning from people who have found a way forward.
Help young people win at life by learning together from real experiences, putting lessons into action and sharing practical ways forward.
A generation of young people building lives they’re proud of and helping each other get there.
THE PEOPLE. THEIR STORIES. THEIR DECISIONS.
Every guest brings a win worth learning from. They might have built a business, broken into an industry, mastered a skill or rebuilt their life after a setback. Nobody has everything figured out. But someone has figured out something that could help the rest of us.
I want to understand the person: where they started, what they were facing, and why they made the decisions that brought them here.
My job is to get curious and get into the details. What worked? What went wrong? Who helped? What did it cost? What came down to luck? And if we were starting today, what would we actually do?
LET’S TRY IT TOGETHER
If we’re talking about getting a job, let’s pull up a real CV and work on it.
If we’re talking about building a business, let’s work through an actual idea.
If I’m trying to understand investing, I want to go through the process with the guest and understand the decisions as I make them.
I’ll ask questions, try things and share what I learn along the way.
YOUR EPISODE COMPANION · FREE WITH EACH EPISODE
The things I wrote down. The advice that challenged my thinking. What I want to try myself. Alongside those notes, we’ll turn the conversation into practical frameworks and roadmaps you can use in your own life.
The show is coming soon. My notes, frameworks and roadmaps will be shared in a free Action Sheet with each episode when it launches.
ILLUSTRATIVE ROADMAP · CAREERS
Your goal: create one piece of work that shows what you can do.
I’ll make ______ and ask ______ for feedback by ______.
This is an example roadmap. Each episode’s companion will come from the actual conversation and my notes.
I’M ON THAT JOURNEY TOO
This starts with young Africans and welcomes anyone trying to find their way forward.
I’m on that journey too. And if we can learn from people who’ve made progress, put those lessons into action and share what works, we can help each other move forward.
That’s The ATB Show. Let’s win together.
