   27: Property, Imposter Syndrome and Reflections with Tim Hyatt

   In this episode, we had the joy of being joined, back in January of this year, by Tim Hyatt, the Head of UK Residential at Knight Frank (https://www.knightfrank.co.uk/). Unlike the vast majority of our guests, Tim didn’t actually go to university but offers such a fresh perspective on the arguments both for and against a uni education. He discusses why he sometimes regrets not studying for a degree, instead going straight into full-time work after leaving school, but also why he thinks he wouldn’t be where he is today if he’d followed the more traditional route. We left our conversation with Tim feeling utterly inspired and almost overwhelmed by his honesty and vulnerability. This episode is a special one and we hope you love it as much as we did. * Grad Life by the Horns is a podcast covering every element of graduate life.

It is also tough when you don't have a clear career trajectory, have a interest or career change since being 18 or even feel like you have to pursue something specific due to stereotypes stereotypes. From these 11 wonderful people, we hear so many stories, ideas and insights which we sure will resonate with you as listeners!
