Charlotte Twigg

that point in my life there had been a lot um happen in my personal life and then with the job that I loved and for anyone that hasn't been made redundant I do think it is quite a difficult thing to understand um because in hindsight if I had heard about a redundancy or something that happening to someone I probably have had not enough empathy in hindsight but that's what happens in life isn't it and it's a bit like miscarriage or something eh yeah it's a floor in the human experience

yeah yeah at the same time I was like our house was on the market I was trying to find a rental to live in I was trying to maybe think could I buy a house if a house sold but I wasn't employed technically like it was stress anyway came out the other side glasshouse picked me up when I was real down ended up getting jadier in that first month of employment too which was real cooked like I was like man you've hired a dud to glasshouse yeah which is what I was dumb

remember through the giardia process that you went to the doctor who told you you were stressed tired and I actually in that moment broke down to someone in the doctor's clinic like I saw an acquaintance through Emma actually and she was like what's going on and I just like I'd just been told I was just tired and I just cried I was like he just tells me I'm tired and I genuinely thought I was having some kind of mental breakdown but anyway

But yeah.

No, so long, very long story short, I wasn't at Glasshouse very long.

I did feel quite bad about that.

But at the same time, I got a call about a potential job in the commercial space between Two Bears the podcast.

And for me, it felt like a really solid alignment and had to go through that process of finding

like I couldn't not interview for it and then was lucky enough to be offered it and so only ended up at Glasshouse for six months really after my two months notice period um and yeah they are amazing but I'm extremely happy in my role now well I think I think the difference is like Glasshouse you actually frothed the people like you felt safe and so supported and but

Yeah, I think it was a real confidence boost too.

They're backing and everything.

At that time, I reckon I'd lost quite a bit of confidence.

And they helped me sort of find it again, which was real.

Like, yeah, I can't.

sing their praises enough really but yeah now I work with two dudes in an office just us but it works we've got a cool sort of wider team that kind of work from you know we contract the sexy cameraman Sam and

are they researching guests researching the the guests that they're about to have on editing cutting conversations all that kind of stuff yeah it's um yeah they're in the office more than full-time i'd say really yeah yeah especially at the moment we're doing they just announced it um last sunday in the sunday magazine that they're going to the football world cup which was like

know a lot of work in a short frame of time to get you know the podcast platform tvnz plus have now put podcasts on their platform right and the lead podcast on that platform is between two bears and through the tvnz partnership they've managed to secure this daily show over at the football world cup so that will be on tvnz the first episode actually goes out tomorrow bro are you their marketing manager

Anyway, so that's how it sort of started.

They've always been football mad.

And then Steve just had this idea in his head that they could go over there and be on the ground doing a daily show.
