"breathe, no one has a clue": Recent Episodes
Jessica O'Leary
We're less about whether it's a big or bad world, and more about how to navigate said world. Fortunately for us, there are many incredible people, some whom you will know, some whom you definitely won't, who have done it all before. At "breathe, nohac", we want to share their stories and learn from their experiences.
Today’s guest is Nicola Potter, an Irish HR expert and the founder of “All Things Jobs” (https://www.allthingsjobs.ie/). Nicola has lived a very full life and career thus far, living and study all around Ireland and spending three years in Qatar in between. In this episode we discuss Ireland, the pandemic, routines and the myths around founding your passion and way in life. We are both passionate about being honest about the highs and lows of life after graduating, and the journey that even gets you this far.
As always, for show notes, please contact Jessica directly. You can find Nicola @allthingsjobs on Instagram or via their website allthingsjobs.ie

Kia Ora! Welcome to episode 001. My beautiful guest today is none other than Doris Zhang, an incredible woman I'm fortunate to call a best pal. This episode follows the structure of interviews to follow, and we would love your feedback. Doris was born in New Zealand, spent many years abroad as a young child, and returned to good 'ol NZ for her secondary and tertiary education. Her awards, accomplishments and accolades are much to numerous to mention for her brief 25 years this far, but I have no doubt this is only the beginning for this extraordinary boss lady. I hope you enjoy this episode, for show notes please send your email address to @jessicaaoleary on Instagram. You can find Doris @dorislora on Instagram also.
Episode 006 of "breathe, no one has a clue". Please welcome today's guest Campion Fellin. Seattle born and raised, Campion spent some time living in Europe whilst studying, before returning home to start work full time in 2018. As our first American guest, we discussed the present, touched briefly on why Black Lives Matter, and being bragadacious (a new word for us!). Passionate about youth reaching their full potential, we talked about how to reverse a current phenomenon that Kanye West put succinctly: they don't want us to be proud, they want us to be humble.
What are you proud of this week?
Find Campion online by listening to his podcast: 1 guest, 1 drink, 1 question available everywhere podcasts are streamed. Instagram @campion.photos. Twitter @1guest1drink1q.

Matt Billington. I would say the man, the myth, the legend, but as you'll hear in this episode, he peaked in 2017. An incredible man, New Zealand born and raised, Matt has always done things his way. He started his first company as a teenager, winning many awards and generating cool af press releases. In recent years, he's been on a journey to make every day better than his last. I could listen to Matt all day long, apologies that I spent so much of this episode doing the talking. For show notes, please drop me a line. You can find Matt (Matt Billington) by searching his name on any social platform. Thanks for showing up!

Welcome to "breathe"! I'm going out on a limb here trying to bring this into the world - and if it's a disaster you won't see this this time next week. For now, please enjoy this introduction and I look forward to introducing you to the much more interesting guests soon.
