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 Rachel Mays
We had a lovely conversation about the joys of freelancing and understanding your value with Rachel Mays. Rachel is a freelance consultant servicing clients across the UK, Europe and USA.
Rachel began her career in Portland, Oregon at the creative agency Wieden and Kennedy where she was a student in their experimental creative agency, WK12.
Rachel went on to work across the Nike and Procter & Gamble accounts and then joined Wieden and Kennedy Amsterdam in 2011 to design and run the new business department where she stayed for 8 years.
Today she lives in Edinburgh and is a freelance consultant servicing clients across the UK, Europe and USA. Her offer is two fold: Working with creative agencies to prioritise new business. And working with brand marketers to run effective agency selection processes. When she's not working she's thinking about her local river Esk, out hiking, scrolling auction sites, laboring in the garden, or on her bike.
You can find Rachel through LinkedIn.
Working For Progress is hosted by Dani Trudeau and produced by Alice Hudson.
Dani Trudeau, founder of Tribe Porty, a community coworking space in Edinburgh built on the belief that creativity, collaboration, and care are good for people, business, and the world.
