#38 Fabion Turner: Financial Advisor with a Side of Cakes, Rugby Caps & Career Leaps
What do you call someone who’s been a national rugby player, a baker, a financial advisor, a meal prep chef, a rugby team manager, and a trained teacher? You call them Fabion Turner.
In this episode, Fabion (aka Tino) shares the twists and turns of a career that doesn’t fit into one box — from turning down a job in China to take a finance role in Jamaica, to making wedding cakes that rivaled his banking salary, to managing Jamaica’s rugby team while still playing for it. Oh, and he somehow found time to do a Master’s degree and an internship at the same time.
This one’s for the multi-hyphenates, the restless creatives, and anyone who’s ever wondered: “Am I doing too much?”
New episodes are out every Wednesday, so until then—Stay Weird and Stay Ambitious, my friends ✌🏾

#37 Ericka Felix: Moving Home Was the Career Reset I Needed
Ericka Felix’s career path proves that every job teaches you something — even when it doesn’t “look” professional. From managing a fast-food chain at 22 in Australia to teaching third graders, bartending on weekends, training customer service teams, and now leading administrative operations at an engineering firm in Mexico — Ericka has done it all.
In this episode, we talk about the pressure to succeed straight out of uni, the mental load of living abroad, what it means to “go back home” without feeling like a failure, and why work-from-home isn’t for everyone.
This one’s a reminder to stop rushing your career and trust that every weird job adds up.
New episodes are out every Wednesday, so until then – Stay Weird and Stay Ambitious, my friends✌🏾

#36 Thabata Alves: A Customer Success Consultant Across Continents
This week, I’m joined by my good friend from uni, Thabata Alves, whose career journey proves that sometimes the first job is the right job.
We talk about how Thabata went from graduating on a Thursday to starting her tech career on a Monday, her transition from Australia to London, and what it really means to be a Customer Success Consultant.
She breaks down what she actually does, how she’s grown in the role over six years, and why building relationships at work is just as important as being good at your job.
If you’ve ever wondered what customer success is (besides lunch meetings and client calls 😏), or if you’re looking for a stable path in tech—this one’s for you.
New episodes are out every Wednesday, so until then—Stay Weird and Stay Ambitious, my friends ✌🏾
