Welcome to Starting Over, the podcast dedicated to those navigating the transition of career setbacks or returning from career breaks and hosted by Nick Price, who personally faced redundancy in October 2025. This series is designed to help you start YOUR next chapter. Whether you are currently unemployed, job-seeking, or simply feeling lost, this is a space where you can find support from a community that truly understands your journey. Starting Over aims to remind you that you’re not on your own.
What to Expect
Each episode explores the stories of incredible individuals through 10 key questions. We dive into:
The trials and tribulations of a career setback or break.
Personal growth and lessons learned along the way.
Practical tips to help others facing similar situations.
A chance to "sell yourself" and showcase the person behind the CV.
For Recruiters and Hiring Managers
To help you find talent efficiently, every episode concludes with a 2-3-minute Quickfire summary. This provides a high-level insight into the guest’s profile; if it sparks your interest, the full conversation is available for a deeper dive.
Join us as we listen to these journeys and remember collectively: career setbacks and breaks are not the end, but the start of YOUR next chapter.
