Hey Weirdos! I'm super excited to share this month's amazing guest with you. A creator I admired from afar who has now joined me on the mic to chat all things travel, content creation and personal growth. Our Professional Weirdo is the adorable Jack Forrest-Rickard.

Jack is the driving force behind JFR.PRODUCTIONS, a brand that started with travel and lifestyle vlogs but has since grown into something much deeper. Through their YouTube channel, they capture adventures both at home and away, always with a message of positivity, but behind the scenes, their story is one of resilience. After surviving a hit-and-run accident that left them battling PTSD, Jack made it his mission to find happiness even in the toughest moments. His brand, STAY HAPPY, isn’t just a slogan, it’s a mindset, born from his own personal struggles that left him rebuilding from the ground up. From sharing travel experiences to launching his own STAY HAPPY merchandise, they’ve built a platform that encourages people to hold onto joy, no matter what life throws their way.

In this warm + engaging episode we discuss:

• The journey from a teenage YouTubing Millennial to a Content Creator
• Becoming a Creator in your 30s
• Building a personal brand
• Dealing with trolls and negativity
• Travel vlogging as escapism and part of the new buyer journey
• Getting recognised in public!
• Turning tragedy to triumph through the creation of his brand Stay Happy
• Kit and equipment for a creator
• The accountability and structure of content creation
• Competing with yourself
• The struggle with showing both positive and negative content

This chat was everything I hoped it would be, and more. Jack is such a sunshine soul and I'm sure he will have gained another subscriber in you after you've finished listening.
