Episode 08: Don’t waste 40+ hrs a week being unhappy - Hilary Owen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hilary Owen is the Head of Marketing at Escape The City, the leading purposeful job board, helping mission-driven job seekers find work that they believe in, at organisations doing things differently.
They believe you shouldn’t need to compromise on flexibility or ways of working that suit you, and that working for a cause you truly care about is more possible now than ever. We couldn't agree more, obviously.
Their platform showcases 1,000s of organisations doing business for good, for people and our planet. Because life’s too short to do work that doesn’t matter. Their tag line is: Do Something Different, don’t waste 40+ hrs a week being unhappy and that's exactly what Hilary did.
Before joining Escape, Hilary worked in fashion brand and content marketing in New York and London.
She left in January 2021 to pursue a simpler life — starting with converting a campervan and subsequently spending the summer in Cornwall.
Hilary is a thought leader in work place culture and shares openly what’s worked for her in her career to date to ensure she’s fulfilled and living her best life!
