Introducing the Guests…

This new Podcast series – The Seven Questions to Create your Future – has two halves.

In the first, social entrepreneur and author, Trevor Waldock, discusses the questions he believes are critical in helping teens navigate their way through life. Following each episode with Trevor, there will be a follow up episode involving a group of three teenagers debating and chatting about what they have learned from Trevor’s ideas and the impact and influence it has had on them. 

So this episode gives you the chance to meet the teenagers and understand their background, thoughts and ambitions before they dive in to the seven questions. 

Please bear in mind that we have been busy at Talking Teenage Life completing our GCSE’s and so this episode, along with some others, were recorded prior to us sitting our exams.

The Seven Questions to Create your Future

How are you feeling about your future? Does it feel overwhelming and uncertain? Do you have any idea where you want to be or what type of person you want to become?

Everyone has these uncertainties, especially during the current state of the world with climate crises, economic difficulty and a war in Europe. Sometimes as teenagers the future is a scary place especially when you have to make decisions at 13/14 and then again at 15/16 for learning subjects even when you have no clue what career path you want to follow. It can feel daunting. It can feel overwhelming. This worry is enlarged when careers guidance at school is next to no help at all.

However, with help of author and social entrepreneur, Trevor Waldock, this new podcast series will provide young people with seven simple questions that will act as a compass, guiding you in the right direction. Giving you tools in order to create a future you can thrive in.

Will these seven questions actually make your future clearer?

Join three other teenagers also answering these questions and following Trevor’s guidance on how to delve deeper into these questions in order to gain the most from them. They are starting the conversations we want to create so that you have access to help and guidance even if it’s not provided by the adults in your life.

What do I love? Where do I want to change the world? What am I actually good at? What do I want to do? Why do I want to do it? What three areas must I focus on? Where am I at right now?

That’s all this series is – answering seven simple questions.

These seven questions could create your future.

These seven questions might challenge you.

These seven questions will empower you to choosing the right path for your future.

Introductory Podcast Launched!

Hi everyone!

Just to say that I’ve launched my first podcast, which is a bit of an explanation of what “Talking Teenage Life” is going to be all about, in case you didn’t know! It includes some clips from interviews I’ve already done – I’ve currently got four that I’m finishing editing and one that it uploaded and will be available from next Sunday – 3rd March.

Now although I’ve uploaded the podcast today I have to wait for the nice people at Apple and iTunes to approve my podcast before you can find it there. It will hopefully be available soon, so keep an eye out for it so you can then subscribe.

However, if you keen to hear it now, then you need to click on the link below to get a sneaky early preview:

Please do let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your feedback and, as it’s my first attempt, I am sure there are loads of things that I could improve on.

So here we go – let’s get talking teenage life!

Introduction to “Talking Teenage Life”

Thanks for joining me!

So we are now up and running and I’m really excited. I’ve managed to get some fairly basic podcasting equipment together and I’m learning the ropes with editing. I’ve got a pair of headphones, a couple of mics, a mixer and I’ve downloaded some software to make the podcast happen.

What could possibly go wrong!

Most importantly, I’ve found some guests willing to talk to me about their teenage years.

And what a fascinating group I’ve found to be in my first, few podcasts.

I’ve been talking to a lady who became the first ever female President of the Lawn Tennis Association. She was on court to present Andy Murray with his Wimbledon trophy!

Then I met the lady who started out as a barrister and ended up on children’s TV. She became famous as Tiswas’s phantom flan flinger – I know – I’ve never heard of it either but my parents were hugely impressed that I’d interviewed her!

Throw in an interview with a radio commentator who has already covered over 1,000 games for his favourite team, plus a girl in her twenties who is about to head off on an African adventure for a year, and you can see why I’m excited to share these stories.

So here is my introductory podcast that will get you into the feel of what they are all about. Click on the link below to download the introductory podcast:

You will find all my podcasts as a blog on my website, but better than that why not subscribe through your normal podcast provider.

I’d love to hear you feedback and ideas too by the way.

Hope you enjoy listening to my guests and I “talking teenage life!”

Bye

Rose
