WHAT DOES YOUR MUM THINK

Arts EN ↓ 55 episodes

Welcome to What Does Your Mum Think. A podcast for people doing the thing, wanting to do the thing or don’t even know what the thing is yet! I’m Sheps! A British creative from Manchester: designer, podcaster, martial artist. I’m in the messy middle of my success, and trying to embrace it everyday! The ‘why’ behind all this you ask? To be inspired by the messy middle and get to the bottom of what it really means to be a success. Each episode I sit down with creatives, mischievous misfits and doers to unpack their work and how they beat the voices in their head to not give up on their dreams.
