The trouble with FREE!

The trouble with Free

First up, before you go past this point, I better let you know this is a ‘negative’ post – my 1st ‘negative’ ever! I don’t believe in writing them – more importantly, I haven’t had the need to write one; but in this case I want to! I like to think I’m pretty easy going….it [...]

Not everyone can be an entrepreneur!

Dream Corner - Not everyone is an entrepreneur

It is true! Not everyone can or should be an entrepreneur! When I started Dream Corner, I only saw it as vehicle for female entrepreneurs – mostly because that’s where I had come – being an entrepreneur I mean. But as the show has grown, and time has gone on, I have come to realise [...]

Reflections from 2012

Dream Corner - reflections on 2012

What a year 2012 has been – certainly the best one of my life to date. This is not to say I have not had my fair share of challenges (bucket loads), disappointments and failures in equal measure. But all those have eclipsed by the joys, excitement and fulfillment I have experienced. I remember distinctly – round [...]

Interviews from TEDxEuston 2012

Dream Corner TEDx Euston 2012

As a media partner providing audio content of TEDxEuston 2012, Dream Corner wanted to capture the spirit of such a memorable event by interviewing speakers, partners, delegates and one of the organisers over two days. The interviews give anyone a ‘feel’ of what happened and how people genuinely felt about the day. You can read my [...]

My 1st TEDxEuston experience

Viv at TEDxEuston

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was going to my 1st TEDxEuston event, especially since I had partnered with them to provide audio content. I was going to interview as many speakers as possible and get immediate reaction from delegates. My excitement was almost at fever pitch on Friday – I say [...]

Making a change in 2013

Channel 4

I don’t know about you, but I am wondering where 2012 has gone! In two days of writing this post, it would be December 1st and 24 days to Christmas and 30 days to the end of the year. This is usually the time a lot of us take stock of what we have or [...]

Being childfree…..

Dream Corner - Being Childfree

So far, 2012 has been an awesome year for me! Not not so much in terms of Dream Corner’s growth (which has been amazing and I’m thankful for!), but more for my personal journey and growth. I tell people that Dream Corner is a gift to me – personally, because it has allowed me the [...]

Never knowingly undersold….by Funmi Johnson

Never knowingly undersold

I had to write 2 biographies for myself a little while ago for my business. I ran them past a few friends and was told that they absolutely did not do me justice. In summary, I had ‘undersold’ myself. As I worked on them again, it got me thinking: why do we as women, routinely [...]

When life throws you lemons…..

Dream Corner - Lemons

….you make lemonade! It’s the old cliche isn’t it?! The past 3, almost 4 weeks have seen my-almost-certain radio career take a turn. The radio station has been off air and being the eternal optimist, I have hoped against hope that it was only temporary and I would be back on air in no time. [...]

How I have great conversations on radio

Dream Corner - top conversation tips

A couple months ago, I was approached by the lovely Yifat Cohen – Gplus Go To Gal to be part of her ‘What’s Your Story’ Entrepreneurial interview series. Naturally I was thrilled and as we got closer to the day, we had a ‘Hangout’ on Google+ and she asked how I have great interviews on [...]
