Working For Progress
Working for Progress is a podcast about work, wellbeing, and what it means to live a meaningful life.
Hosted by social entrepreneur Dani Trudeau and rooted in the community of Tribe Porty in Edinburgh, each season explores a theme, The Body, through honest, unhurried conversations with people who are shaping their working lives with intention. These aren't interviews about career advice or productivity hacks. They're deeper conversations about values, identity, creativity, burnout, purpose, and the quiet grit behind the work people do.
If you love podcasts like On Being or The Pause, and you're asking bigger questions about how you want to work and live, this is for you.
Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Reema Vadoliya on Data, Inclusion, and Why the Human Story Always Comes First
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Dani speaks with Reema Vadoliya, founder of People of Data and a passionate advocate for putting humanity at the heart of how we gather, interpret, and use data.
Reema's central argument is a simple but radical one: data is never just facts. Behind every dataset are real people, real lives, and real consequences. The way we handle data either reflects that or ignores it. After seven years working across the data industry, she launched People of Data to change that.
They talk about what drew Reema to this work, why inclusion in data matters beyond the boardroom, and what it actually looks like to be more human than we think we need to be.
A thought-provoking conversation about stories, systems, and the people that numbers can't fully capture.
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.
