MidWeek

MidWeek hosts workshops and panel discussions for people in their 20s and 30s navigating career uncertainty. Our London events create a space for honest conversations about work, purpose, and what comes next.

Through structured workshops and panels featuring people who've successfully navigated career transitions, we help participants move from confusion to clarity. It's where ambitious people come to figure out their next move, surrounded by others who get it.

Not networking. Not generic career advice. Just real conversations about finding work that actually fits who you are.

Founder

Still Wandering

Still Wandering is a weekly newsletter documenting the reality of finding meaningful work when you don't know what that means yet.

Every week, I share honest reflections on navigating career uncertainty in your 20s and 30s. No frameworks or success theater—just raw documentation of the actual journey.

What I write about:

- Personal experiments in self-discovery and what I'm learning
- Conversations with others figuring out their professional path  
- The questions we're not supposed to ask about work and meaning
- Resources and ideas that genuinely shift perspective

This is for anyone who knows they want more from work but can't articulate what that is. For those collecting experiences and degrees but still feeling like they're living someone else's life. 

I'm not here to sell you answers. I'm here to make the wandering feel less lonely by sharing mine.

TrueNorth

TrueNorth is an AI-powered career coach designed for people who need to figure out what they want before they figure out how to get it.

Unlike traditional career tools that start with job searches and skills assessments, TrueNorth begins where real career clarity begins: with understanding yourself.

How it works:

Deep self-discovery sessions - Through thoughtful AI-guided conversations, uncover your core values, what energises you, and what kind of impact you want to make. No generic personality tests—just real exploration of what matters to you.

Pattern recognition - TrueNorth remembers every conversation, tracking how your thinking evolves over time. It spots patterns you might miss and reflects them back to help you see yourself more clearly.

Practical pathfinding - Once you understand what you're looking for, TrueNorth helps you explore aligned career paths and design small experiments to test what might actually fit. No overwhelming action plans—just the next right step.

Ongoing support - Career clarity isn't a one-time event. TrueNorth grows with you, helping navigate transitions, test new directions, and stay aligned as you evolve.

Who it's for:

- Recent graduates who feel overwhelmed by infinite options
- Professionals who've succeeded but feel unfulfilled  
- Career changers who know they want something different but can't articulate what
- Anyone tired of career advice that assumes you already know what you want

Built on the belief that you can't build a meaningful career until you understand what meaning means to you. Everything else—the applications, the networking, the skill-building—comes after that.

Start with who you are. End with work that fits.

Helping businesses deliver impact by enhancing their visibility and reputation | Founder of arco.

I spent my early twenties collecting careers like stamps. Architecture degree, music production, entrepreneurship—each pivot made perfect sense at the time, but from the outside it looked like I couldn't commit to anything.

The truth was simpler: I had no idea who I was, so how could I know what to do?

I discovered this wasn't just my problem. Almost everyone I knew—smart, capable people with good degrees—felt completely lost about their careers. We'd been taught how to get jobs, but nobody taught us how to figure out what work would actually fulfil us.

That realisation changed everything. I saw that the real problem wasn't a lack of opportunities or skills. It was that most career advice starts at step 10 when people like us were still stuck at step 1: understanding ourselves.

Now I'm building tools and communities to fix this:

TrueNorth: An AI-powered career coach that starts with self-discovery, not job listings

MidWeek: London events bringing together people navigating career uncertainty

Still Wandering: A newsletter documenting the messy reality of finding meaningful work

I work with people in their 20s and 30s who know they want something more from work but can't articulate what that is. People who've tried following conventional career paths but felt like they were wearing someone else's clothes.

My approach is simple: you can't build a meaningful career until you understand what meaning means to you. Everything else—the skills, the networking, the applications—comes after that.

If you're tired of career advice that assumes you already know what you want, let's talk.

One trusted and skilled creative partner who wants you to succeed. Clients in 🇺🇸 and 🇬🇧. Sharing my valuable lessons and experiences.

My journey into entrepreneurship and skill-building began when I was 11, growing up in a city of 16,000 people in Northern Europe. Not because someone told me to, but because I was genuinely curious. What began as experiments with side hustles and content creation turned into a lifelong pursuit of learning, serving, and building. Over the last 14+ years, I have taught myself everything I know. Through trial, failure, and relentless improvement.

From creating and editing YouTube videos to even building an online community for thousands around shared interests when I was 14, every step was driven by curiosity and a desire to offer value. Leading and promoting game servers, learning the dynamics of digital platforms, and finding ways to bring people together.

That early start gave me an edge: not just in technical knowledge, but in emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and the ability to truly understand what people need. I've had the honor to work with clients ranging from emerging startups to 7-8 figure businesses and respected influencers worldwide. I care deeply about helping people and businesses win. Freeing up their time by solving real problems and elevating their online presence.

Besides that, my digital presence has grown steadily over the years. Built not on trends or collaborations, but on consistency, clarity, and care. What started on Instagram has reached over 35,000 followers, with LinkedIn now approaching 20,000 followers. Across platforms, more than 60,000 people are part of this awesome journey. Drawn not just to the content, but to the values and vision behind it.

Today, I'm still building. Still solving. Still sharing what I've learned with others. Alongside client work, I'm laying the foundation for a new global community. A space rooted in service, legacy, and long-term thinking where people don't just grow their businesses, but also become better people.

I have always believed in practical solutions, long-term relationships, and the kind of innovation that starts small, even if it takes more time to achieve. The future? It's still unfolding. But the mission stays the same: to serve, lead, and build something worth passing on. Something that makes our lives better collectively.

No matter what happens, I will figure it out.

That mindset alone can take us far. Why?

Because our journey will take us through 
many challenges we don't really expect.

We are working on something awesome,

Things are going well and making progress,

Then, surprise! Another challenge appears.

The truth is that we never really know what 
gets in our way when we work on our goals.

We can have a plan and follow our vision,

But we also need to be ready for more,

Those uncertainties that will surprise us.

And that's when our mindset helps us to 
stay calm and start looking for solutions.

And the sooner we can find that solution,

The sooner we can move to the next thing.

Consistency is something we need to win,

But it's also the hardest thing to achieve.

And quite often, we will realize the role it 
plays when we take our first step forward.

We'll understand what consistency takes,

And how hard it can be to stay consistent.

That's also why we need to think about how 
we can make it easier to achieve over time.

And one good way is to start with habits.

Figure out which habits you need to build,

So you can stay consistent and progress.

Sure, those might seem like small steps we 
take, but those steps help us to grow more.

And over time, all those habits will be built,

Helping us to stay consistent and grow.

Keep showing up every single day too.

Uncertainty is something that seems scary,

And sometimes, we even want to avoid it.

Because it's easier to stay in our comfort 
zones, where everything is familiar to us.

But we all know growth and good things...

They happen when you leave that zone.

When we experiment and start exploring.

Taking one step after another outside our 
comfort zone while also figuring things out.

Of course, leaving that zone can be difficult.

That's why we must start with small steps.

The more we take them outside that zone, 
the more we get used to exploring things.

Then, our comfort zone keeps expanding.

And we keep learning some great lessons.

So take the step, see what you can learn.

We will meet new challenges and struggles,

And they can be the best part of our journey.

Because all those challenges and struggles 
come in our way for a reason - to educate.

Every journey offers different challenges,

Because everyone's journey is different,

But everyone has to learn from them all.

Those challenges we meet can often show 
us something we still have to work on more.

They are almost like our mentors telling us:

Hey, here's something you should improve.

And facing challenges is one great way to 
learn some new skills you don't have yet.

Because they could quite often be the skills,

You might need for other challenges later.

Face them, see what those struggles offer.

If your business needs an updated online presence, you can always send me a DM.

But the question you need to ask yourself:

Which one would you like to be to yourself?

Of course, there are moments when you're 
the one who has to push yourself forward.

Who says it's time to get up or take a step.

Who won't give up when facing challenges.

The truth is, finding that balance between 
both sides is something that can work best.

So we know when to celebrate small wins,

And when to push ourselves a little more.

Because that balance between both sides 
helps us to adjust when it's really needed.

By the end of the day, those are our goals,

And nobody else will achieve them for us.

We need to show up for ourselves daily.

So figure out when to be your own friend 
and when to test your current limitations.

Your progress is about the results you get,

Not about the number of hours you work.

Because it's the results that help you to 
achieve the things you have dreamed of.

So we need to change what we focus on:

Instead of just tracking how much we work,

We also need to start counting the results.

Are you completing the tasks that help you 
achieve your goals? Or, just staying busy?

Our goal should be to move forward daily,

Not walking in circles, thinking we're growing.

So it comes down to those priorities we set.

And if we can do some things in 2 focused 
hours, we spend 8 hours on them instead?

Work smart and always measure progress.

Give your energy to the things that matter.

If your business needs an updated online presence, you can always send me a DM.

Setbacks and failures exist in every journey,

And we don't always know when they come.

Besides that, predicting the moment those 
setbacks come is a waste of our time as well.

We must spend our time and energy wisely.

So the best thing we can do for ourselves:

Preparing for those setbacks beforehand.

And that preparation begins with our own 
mindset and how we see setbacks today.

You can't always directly control them all,

But you can do something much better:

Control how you respond to all setbacks.

Because your response is something you 
control, and controlling that brings change.

And the changes can be powerful enough,

To change the thing you wanted to change.

--

Those are my lessons and experiences, but yours might be different. Feel free to share them with others in the comments below!

If your business needs an updated online presence, you can always send me a DM.

Just because you don't see progress now,

It doesn't mean progress is not happening.

Great things always take time, and we need 
to make sure we are giving them that time.

And also, that we give ourselves the time.

To experiment. To explore. Try new things.

Because that's how you can discover what 
works best and how to achieve your goals.

Everyone's journey is different in its own way,

And what works great for someone else,

Might not always work the best for us.

So every time you find what works, you 
achieve another small and great win.

Those small wins help you to grow more,

Even if you don't see changes right away.

Remember: it's happening, but slowly.

Have you ever felt this when doing things:

The less you force, the more you achieve?

Because we can fully focus on the things 
that matter when we don't force ourselves.

We often say: "I have to do those things."

But when you say: "I get to do the thing",

And then just take the next step forward,

It seems much easier to achieve all those 
things we wanted or complete our tasks.

That's why our approach often matters.

It's not just about us taking action daily,

But also about how we feel when doing it.

Negative thinking can make it much harder 
for us to achieve goals and complete tasks.

Positive thinking often does the opposite.

So change how you approach your goals.
