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.
Working For Progress
Paul Lambie on Creative Life, Community, and Choosing a Different Kind of Progress
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 Paul Lambie — writer, designer, poet, and community gatherer, known to many as Poetry Paul and Paul's Props.
Paul's path has taken him from the world of TV and film to becoming a full-time stay-at-home dad — a shift that raised bigger questions about identity, creativity, and what progress actually looks like when it doesn't follow a straight line.
They talk about why he keeps creating spaces for people to gather — from soup nights in his home to the In Progress Poetry Social at Till's Bookshop — and what words and community have given him that a conventional career couldn't.
A warm, funny, and quietly radical conversation about choosing a different kind of working life.
