Study Pod

In this first episode of STUDY POD, Raquel sits down with Tim Murphy, founder and CEO of branding agency Sideways, to talk about building a company with no business background, why failure is an advantage, and how chaos can be the best starting point. Tim shares how studying art led to running a 40-person agency across three cities, the power of pivoting, and how stubbornness (in the right dose) can be a secret weapon. If you’re navigating career uncertainty, burnout, or just need proof that non-linear paths lead somewhere meaningful, this one’s for you.

Meet The Study Pod 🎙️Navigating school, internships, and everything in between just got a whole lot more real. The Study Pod brings you unfiltered conversations with people who’ve carved their own unique paths; sharing lessons, career advice, and the kind of wisdom you won’t find in a textbook.Hosted by Raquel Woodruff, an actress, writer, and NYU grad whose journey has taken her from newsrooms and comedy sets to film productions and now the mic, this podcast is all about making the future feel a little less intimidating and a lot more human.✨ Brought to you by FOUND Study.
