Perseverance and gain

from The Media Mentor

On this episode I talk to Ethan James, who first emailed me in November 2020 asking for a series of mentoring sessions. It was the height of Covid and a challenging time for Ethan and many of us. 5 years later and he is now doing very well in his career, working on Stephen Tries' podcast. But it's not been easy. We talk about how and why he did some media work for free after graduating and how it was critical to helping him advance. And how the difficult decisions have kept coming. As you’ll also hear, he’s a terrific character and full of great energy and has loads of good advice for you.To find out more about The Media Mentor, listen to episode 1 and to see how I could help your career head to https://www.themediamentor.info/servicesOn the webite you will also find 6 pages of media jobs to browse.If you have any questions about media careers or a story that you would like to share then please get in touch.More details about The Media Mentor can be found here.For all the latest job listings head here.To get alerts on media jobs as they drop follow the MM WhatsApp channel here.
