Working For Progress
Welcome to Working For Progress, hosted by social entrepreneur Dani Trudeau. This podcast shares honest conversations with people who are shaping their working lives with care, curiosity, and intention.
Rooted in the community of Tribe Porty and reaching beyond, Dani talks with guests whose stories reflect the everyday grit, values, and quiet purpose behind the work they do.
Through open and thoughtful dialogue, you’ll hear about career twists, meaningful choices, and the moments, big and small, that help us grow. These are stories of progress: not just professional, but personal and collective too.
We’re all working for progress; in ourselves, in our communities, and toward a more connected world.

Working For Progress with Joanna Craven
Jo Craven has been a member at Tribe Porty (whenever living in this country) and also a Keystone Women alumni.
Jo's freelance career started ten years ago with a (thrilling) part-time job translating German phone battery descriptions into English. Four years later, she started freelancing full-time designing games for training and engagement, including river basin games for adults and beans games for children. Since then she has added on other bits and pieces including teaching maths for the Open University, running game design courses, massage therapy, massage clinic admin and training hundreds of hops plants a day up wires (my pandemic career). Outside of her paid work, Jo loves piano, gardening and kayaking in Portobello.
You can find more about Jo through her website and Rapid Game Design, or at LinkedIn.
Working For Progress is hosted by Dani Trudeau and produced by Alice Hudson.
