Working For Progress
Welcome to Working For Progress with social entrepreneur Dani Trudeau. This podcast is all about real conversations with real people who are shaping their working lives in meaningful ways. From the heart of Tribe Porty and beyond, Dani connects with guests whose stories reflect the grit, passion, and purpose behind the work they do.
Through candid and thoughtful interviews, you’ll hear about career journeys that inspire, challenge, and reveal the quiet truths of our shared human experience. Each conversation starts with simple pleasures, winds through tough jobs and daring decisions, and lands in those unforgettable moments of flow and awe.
We’re all working for progress—within ourselves, for each other, and for a better world.

Working For Progress with Peter Jones
Joining us today is artist Peter Jones. Peter has had a studio based in Tribe for many years now and works mainly in watercolour. It was great to speak with Peter today and learn more about him.
Peter’s interests include buildings and place and has published a series of books that celebrate the built environments of Kirkcudbright, Portobello, Falkland, and most recently Craigmillar & Niddrie.
Through funding from creative scotland, Peter recently collaborated with Craigmillar Art Club to launch a book and an exhibition as part of Art Walk Porty. Facilitating workshops formed a part of this project and workshops have now become a key element of his creative practice, with a series of sketching workshops at the National Museum of Scotland with Bipolar Edinburgh now into its second run. Everyone can draw, and coming together in a group can add to the wellbeing benefits of this mindful activity.
Peter is a quiet, calm and lovely man and we very much appreciated this conversation. You can find more about Peter and his work on his website and instagram.
