When you leave the remote Scottish island of Shetland at the age of 19 for the big, bad city to run a business, your path from there is unlikely to be dull! That’s why I wanted to chat to Gavin Bell about all of the amazing things he’s achieved by the tender age of 23. This is packed with inspiration, advice for life and plums. Listen!

Sarah Cooper went from working at the likes of Yahoo and Google to international funny lady, lighting up the pages of Medium.com with her satirical and hilarious look at the corporate world. This led to a book deal and she now spends her time writing, speaking and making people laugh. I first came across Sarah when her 10 Tips to Appear Smart in Meetings post on Medium went viral, and have been a huge fan ever since.

The theme for this episode is ‘change’ – Sarah had a career working within tech giants, and while she was far from adverse to it, she knew it wasn’t where she wanted to be forever. Listen to find out how she changed her path, her hilarious view of the corporate world, her thoughts on being a US citizen right now and much more!

Hi, I’m Mike McGrail, the chap who’ll be launching the Different Minds Podcast in November. I wanted to create something that showcases people that I think have great things to share. We literally have a chat that goes down many alleys, but will always either entertain, educate or inspire you. Maybe all three!

Episode 1

The first episode is a chat with a very close friend of mine, Gavin Oattes, from the Tree of Knowledge. He’s an incredible speaker, author and comedian that has great stories to tell. It’s already recorded and I honestly think you’ll love it! Sign up below for an email alert when it’s live. You can also follow on Twitter – @diffmindscast
