JobsWorth - James Lawrence

from JobsWorth · host John Hawker

On JobsWorth this week, I’m sitting down with storyteller and adventurer James Lawrence (aka Man About Country).James is a man on a mission. Earlier this year, he set out on a 400km walk around Essex in an effort to gather, preserve, and celebrate the stories that make our great county special.He describes the project as his love letter to Essex – and I challenge you to listen to James talk about the magic, myths, and history abundant in our little corner of the world without feeling inspired to write your own.Expect all your standard JobsWorth fare during our chat (James went through perhaps one of the biggest career pivots we’ve discussed across sixty-plus episodes of the podcast), as well as a gripping (not a guarantee) game of Fact or Folklore.Be sure to check out the link to the remaining dates of James’ Essex Ways Story Walk Tour in the description before you go.Please enjoy… James Lawrence.#jobsworth #podcast #career #worklife #storiesthatinspirechangeTour Links - https://www.manaboutcountry.co.uk/essexwaystourWebsite - https://www.manaboutcountry.co.ukInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/man_about_country/The JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.comWatch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcastFollow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=enFollow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollectiveSubscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournalLearn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]
