The Poker Player

4/2/2023
Can you imagine playing your favourite game EVERY DAY? Even better, if you got really good at it, making all your money from it? It's a risky business, but Leo the Poker Player has done just that, playing at professional tournaments and travelling the world to do what he truly loves. He isn't so keen on all the sitting down his job involves, so when Gwen called him he was out walking his dog in the sunshine. We hope you enjoy learning about this most peculiar profession! --- Through her Gwen Gets To Work podcast, Gwen gets finds out about what different adults do all day at work, and how they got there.

The Art Publisher (Mothers Day Special)

3/18/2023
Mother's Day Special! Gwen talks to her Mum about what she really does all day while Gwen is at school. She learns that there is more to her Mum's job than she realised, and that being a Mum is a proper actual job too. If you are lucky enough to have each other and be together, why don't you ask your Mum what she does all day when you aren't with her, whether that is a paid job or being a brilliant full-time Mummy! You might be surprised! We also hope everyone enjoys hearing all about the world of print publishing and selling art online. A lot of young people want to work in the art world, and it can be hard to make that happen. Gwen's Mum chose to give up her dream of being a painter to find a job that paid her a salary and it took a long time to find her way back to the industry she loved. We hope that this episode gives other creatives some hope and inspiration. Things don't always go the way you planned; but with a few twists and turns, an open mind, and a bit of luck, you might just end up doing something else you love! --- Through her Gwen Gets To Work podcast, Gwen gets finds out about what different adults do all day at work, and how they got there.

The Makeup Artist
