“Don’t be so hard on yourself. Travel and meet new people - see the world while you can. It will help you grow and learn valuable life lessons.”
NICE WORKS
“Being kind is often more important than being right.
More often than not being right can win the short term game. Being nice is the only way to win the long term game.”
NATHAN GALLAGHER

TONY COLMAN AKA LONDON ELEKTRICTY
“You have to do it for the journey, enjoy it and love the journey. If you don’t feel the drive and inces- sant need to make music, don’t do it. It’s a waste of time. You have to need to do it.”
KIRSTY GODSO
“Be proud to be uniquely you, own your passions, don’t hide your personality. Who says it’s weird? Do you love it? Great – keep going, we’re not here to be normal, how boring would that be. Learn, learn and keep learning.”
NICK GRANTHAM
My boss called me and said, “it’s career suicide, it’s not even a job what are you doing, you’re a physiologist?” And I was thinking to myself, I’m going to do it, that’s what I want to do.

THEO BROMA

“Don’t let other people decide for you. You decide for yourself what you want your future to look like.”
ORIEL DAVIS-LYONS
“The lack of diversity is an issue as it’s hard for creatives of color to find mentors in senior positions who can say, “I’ve been where you are, here’s how you navigate it.” That’s something that I think, hopefully, will start to change.”
KELTIE O’CONNOR
“People ALWAYS tell me they want to start a YouTube channel, but waiting for the ‘perfect’ time, or that they need to learn more. I tell them no you learn by just doing. You don’t learn to shoot a basketball by watching videos of Kobe every day, you learn by shooting.”
