How To Be Human
How To Be Human
Tom Norman
I've made it my mission to speak to as many people as possible in order to understand the fundamentals of what it's like to be human. I regularly chat with somebody completely new to hear their stories, their ideas and the way they are experiencing life. Expect honest stories, thoughtful conversation, vulnerability and perhaps even a little philosophy.
020 - Having The Courage To Jump Into The Unknown - Vivian Mineker
Vivian is a freelance illustrator living in Ljubljana. Her Instagram features lots of cute illustrations and has grown to over 40k followers. But just a few years ago, she was in good job that was comfortable, safe, but didn't make her happy! Rather than drown in that unhappiness she decided to leap into the unknown...On this episode we discuss what it's like being caught between two cultures, how she got the courage to leave such a 'safe' job and the realities of freelance life. We also start off very philosophically by debating what it really means to be a human at all. For more information about the How To Be Human project visit the website at https://howtobehuman.co. Discover more on: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/howtobehuman6 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/howtobehuman_/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqrq-ykiwKoi8ahJNWYLmDA This podcast is brought to you in collaboration with Radio Terminal.
