Hear fascinating conversations with everyday experts from a wide range of jobs and industries, with the aim to help people who are looking to start a new career (fresh or changing pathway). It's also a great way to learn what a certain person in a job does, like your friend of 20 years. How do I still have no clue what it is they do? So yeah, you might finally wrap your head around it.

Mortgage Broker: Hank Hong | How to be a good Broker + Putting the customer first + What those awards mean + Breaking into the top 1%
Anyone who has bought a house has an idea of what a Mortgage Broker does.

Hank is an award-winning Mortgage Broker and has consistently appeared in the Top 100 Brokers in Australia, and was ranked 8th in 2024. What does this mean though? We get to the bottom of this in the ep too.

Cyber Security Nerd: James Newburrie | Do we actually need to do this? + Emotional Intelligence as a tool + weaselling into a career + rethinking the budget + AI and quantum computing
What's life like working in Cyber Security and should we be paying attention to those recruitment ads? It's a growing industry, but what kind or person should you be, and what are necessary skills?
James Newburrie is the guy you want on your team to keep your network secure, and to inspire you to get into this industry.
James also answers basic questions and helps us better understand processes and those annoying things IT departments make us do.
Heads up: This ep contains the C-bomb. It doesn't contain the E symbol because it's part of some valuable advice that children must hear. Whilst it's possible that you won't read this part until it's too late, consider it a warning!
Please leave a 5-star review if you like the pod + subscribe. Both are free ways to support the WEK Pod.
