00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.960
Hi, and welcome back to And You Have Did You

00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:08.660
Make It, the last English content of 2025. So

00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:11.320
in this episode, you will find all the pieces

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.699
of advice who the brilliant guests have shared

00:00:14.699 --> 00:00:17.699
with us throughout the year, either as a reminder

00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:22.199
or to invite you to listen to the episode. Enjoy!

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.079
Let's start with Emina. You never know if you

00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.160
don't try. Do you have any last advice you want

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.299
to share with us? Maybe I would just leave you

00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:38.640
with a learning. A career coach once told me

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.060
something I tried still to incorporate in myself,

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:48.340
which is, don't you ever think that you are going

00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:53.079
to reach that one job eventually. There is no

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.960
one job that is, we're not that generation anymore.

00:00:57.609 --> 00:01:00.689
You're not going to be at that one job forever.

00:01:01.009 --> 00:01:04.290
Just expect and prepare yourself mentally that

00:01:04.290 --> 00:01:08.189
your interests will keep changing. And something

00:01:08.189 --> 00:01:11.290
that was your dream job might not be anymore

00:01:11.290 --> 00:01:15.430
after a couple of years. Yeah, just be prepared

00:01:15.430 --> 00:01:19.890
that you will go out there in search for something

00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:23.709
new. And you will do that until you retire. And

00:01:23.709 --> 00:01:27.170
maybe you don't want to retire. Next, with Mayara.

00:01:28.129 --> 00:01:31.870
Seek clarity and ask for help. Do you have any

00:01:31.870 --> 00:01:35.689
final advice for our listeners? I do have one.

00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:37.730
I think you should have to pick only one advice.

00:01:37.849 --> 00:01:41.290
That's the mindset I try to think about your

00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:45.450
question. And for me, it is to find the right

00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:50.829
balance between staying humble and curious and

00:01:50.829 --> 00:01:53.390
as well believing in yourself and knowing your

00:01:53.390 --> 00:01:56.719
worth. And there is a reason why I say it's a

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.780
balance. Because if you stay humble and curious,

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.159
but only that, then you can end up diminishing

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.639
yourself and having, therefore, imposter syndrome

00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.699
or not necessarily going for opportunities because

00:02:12.699 --> 00:02:14.460
you're going to feel so humble that you're going

00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:18.039
to feel that you're not ready or not worth. And

00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.639
at the same time, if you believe in yourself

00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.129
and know your worth too much, but this is not

00:02:25.129 --> 00:02:27.949
in equilibrium with staying humble and curious,

00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:32.409
then this is where you might indeed reach out

00:02:32.409 --> 00:02:35.629
to opportunities that you're not ready for. And

00:02:35.629 --> 00:02:38.969
you can come across as being very full for yourself

00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:47.409
and being even understood as someone, well, not

00:02:47.409 --> 00:02:52.039
humble is the right word. So the... sweet spot

00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:56.099
there is where you can have the strength to grow

00:02:56.099 --> 00:02:58.699
limitless you can if you can balance those two

00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:01.860
characteristics of being humble being curious

00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:05.300
asking questions always pursuing to learn and

00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:08.400
putting yourself in the shoes of eternal learning

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.900
lifelong learning but at the same time believing

00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:14.460
in yourself and in your potential and knowing

00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:19.580
your worth then you're gonna be unstoppable Next,

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.439
with Emma, use rejection as motivation. Do you

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.780
have any final advice for the next generation

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:29.039
of creatives? Actually, recently, funny enough,

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.360
I did a little workshop for Apple back at home.

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.580
And it was about creating and generating content

00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:39.240
on your iPhone. You don't need to have the most

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.800
bombastic equipment to be the best content creator.

00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:44.560
I had this workshop and basically I had around

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.300
20 influencers quite big in my hometown, Malta.

00:03:48.030 --> 00:03:50.770
And I told them that with simple adjustments

00:03:50.770 --> 00:03:53.729
to photo settings and simple adjustments to lighting,

00:03:53.990 --> 00:03:55.889
you can create the best version of yourself.

00:03:56.189 --> 00:03:58.669
So for this Gen Z, don't think you need to have

00:03:58.669 --> 00:04:01.469
the best cameras and the best, most expensive

00:04:01.469 --> 00:04:04.090
lenses and whatnot. Because in reality, a lot

00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:06.530
of the content is also created with iPhone, which

00:04:06.530 --> 00:04:09.289
anyone can do. So it's about learning how to

00:04:09.289 --> 00:04:11.509
take those photos, those specific angles and

00:04:11.509 --> 00:04:14.449
what to capture and then putting it together.

00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:18.779
Then we have Lorenz. confidence come from doing

00:04:18.779 --> 00:04:21.319
it I think I mean I've said this many times my

00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.579
one advice is do hard things like try hard things

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:28.699
and say yes to stuff like especially it's something

00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:33.100
that that's given me the most results that doesn't

00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:35.779
mean you have to succeed but like coming to London

00:04:35.779 --> 00:04:37.660
as well it was hard but I was just saying yes

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:39.779
to everything my first job was saying yes to

00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:42.779
everything and it does it does give a lot back

00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:46.129
so I would say try to do hard things It is usually

00:04:46.129 --> 00:04:48.230
rewarding. It will give you a sense of satisfaction

00:04:48.230 --> 00:04:51.870
and will help you out in the long term. And secondly,

00:04:51.910 --> 00:04:54.810
look after yourself today as well. Don't just

00:04:54.810 --> 00:04:58.750
think about tomorrow. Next, we have Faz, who

00:04:58.750 --> 00:05:00.730
invites you to find something that is bothering

00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:05.029
you and go fix it. I'll go back to what I said

00:05:05.029 --> 00:05:09.490
initially when I talked about success. So I said

00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:14.069
at the beginning, don't ask what you want. ask

00:05:14.069 --> 00:05:18.829
why you want it so to kind of expand upon that

00:05:18.829 --> 00:05:23.269
a bit more you know ask yourself you know what

00:05:23.269 --> 00:05:27.610
generates the most impact what generates the

00:05:27.610 --> 00:05:30.129
the most amount of fulfillment contentment because

00:05:30.129 --> 00:05:32.089
that's what all this matters that's where this

00:05:32.089 --> 00:05:34.410
matters it's fine to have all these accolades

00:05:34.410 --> 00:05:37.189
it's fine to you know do crazy things and and

00:05:37.189 --> 00:05:39.029
have fun and yeah and you should you should have

00:05:39.029 --> 00:05:40.910
fun you should enjoy your things are doing it

00:05:40.910 --> 00:05:43.170
but you should be asking yourself you know you

00:05:43.170 --> 00:05:46.069
should be doing this because you want to live

00:05:46.069 --> 00:05:50.189
an interesting and fulfilling life and that's

00:05:50.189 --> 00:05:53.149
where all this comes down to um there's so much

00:05:53.149 --> 00:05:54.790
knowledge in the world there's so many things

00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:58.550
to see and do and you are only barely scratching

00:05:58.550 --> 00:06:01.170
the surface and you'll never have enough time

00:06:01.170 --> 00:06:03.089
to see everything so you might as well just try

00:06:03.089 --> 00:06:05.430
your best and see as much as you can talk to

00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:08.850
people learn from people try things try as many

00:06:08.850 --> 00:06:11.430
things as possible because something will stick

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.639
something will stick and when it does you'll

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.199
find a a true so something you're good at and

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.620
when you're good at something you you'll you'll

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:23.459
actually enjoy doing it and you'll become better

00:06:23.459 --> 00:06:25.079
at it and then yeah you can make money from it

00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.699
you can create a business from it or whatever

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:31.779
but um i think just constantly ask yourself is

00:06:31.779 --> 00:06:36.279
this useful is this impactful and is this helping

00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.040
my community it is helping you know my my soul

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.879
and and do i feel more fulfilled from doing this

00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.459
work and this is not just monetary this is in

00:06:45.459 --> 00:06:49.420
every aspect of of life so um don't just ask

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:54.720
what you want ask why you want it in this episode

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.560
orla reminds you what's the worst thing that

00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.860
can happen what is your last advice look i think

00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:03.079
it's it's kind of what we touched on to raise

00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.370
the talk where you know Get clear on yourself.

00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:12.670
Invest the time in understanding yourself. Go

00:07:12.670 --> 00:07:16.829
easy on yourself. I think nobody has anything

00:07:16.829 --> 00:07:19.889
right or wrong all of the time. You're trying

00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:22.670
to be curious and figure it out. Look to experiment.

00:07:24.170 --> 00:07:28.629
Decisions you make now will not be life -ending.

00:07:29.629 --> 00:07:32.850
You can always course -correct something as your

00:07:32.850 --> 00:07:36.449
careers will always evolve. You will always evolve

00:07:36.449 --> 00:07:39.850
as an individual. So I think it's more just experiment

00:07:39.850 --> 00:07:44.029
and see, you know, this is the time now to try.

00:07:44.110 --> 00:07:46.290
I also think you can experiment throughout your

00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:48.810
career. And I talk to individuals about that

00:07:48.810 --> 00:07:50.629
a lot. You don't need to change a company. You

00:07:50.629 --> 00:07:51.990
don't need to change your role to experiment.

00:07:52.050 --> 00:07:54.370
You can experiment where you are. But I think

00:07:54.370 --> 00:07:57.850
if you start with that mindset, it makes things

00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:02.089
a lot easier, right? It opens a lot more doors

00:08:02.089 --> 00:08:08.879
than close them. Next, in the episode, Ousmane

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:12.019
consistently reminds you how important it is

00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:16.259
to identify your model and keep going. Do you

00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:19.160
have any last advice for our listeners? No, yeah,

00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:20.899
no, great conversation as well. Thank you so

00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:22.759
much. I think, like you mentioned, I've been

00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.480
throwing out advice in the whole session, the

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.019
whole podcast, but I think one last advice that

00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:33.919
I want to give to the listeners is do trust yourself

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.379
have have the belief in yourself um if if unfortunately

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:43.019
no one has the conf no one else has the confidence

00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:47.799
in you you should trust yourself um i i genuinely

00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.179
believe every one of us has that sort of capacity

00:08:51.179 --> 00:08:56.159
or that sort of um talent or attitude and i'm

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.000
not saying everyone has to have the same exact

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.700
sort of route in their career or mindset but

00:09:01.129 --> 00:09:03.649
whatever it is that you're interested in i'm

00:09:03.649 --> 00:09:06.690
just saying that you need to be able to have

00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:10.750
that self -belief um but self -belief also does

00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:14.450
not mean that you have um you build an ego you

00:09:14.450 --> 00:09:18.669
know self -belief is more of a case where you

00:09:18.669 --> 00:09:21.710
try and push yourself as much as you can in certain

00:09:21.710 --> 00:09:24.169
areas that you're interested in and learning

00:09:24.169 --> 00:09:27.350
new things but at the same time you are able

00:09:27.350 --> 00:09:29.629
to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses and

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.679
and know what's good for you, what's bad for

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.600
you. And so I think anyone who's listening right

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.179
now, you are good enough. You have the capabilities.

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:42.320
You can have the drive within you. Just learn

00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.100
to understand what's good for you, bad for you,

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.860
what your strengths and weaknesses are. And if

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:49.179
no one's believing in you, believe in yourself.

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:54.740
So that's my last advice. And lastly, the last

00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:58.440
episode was with Layla. We invite you simply

00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.820
to practice with what you have. My advice is

00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:06.240
what I would give myself right now. I don't think

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.700
it's for just a specific moment of your life,

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:13.559
but I think it could be applied anytime, is to

00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:17.399
do what you're deeply passionate about, so it

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.580
won't feel like working at all. I couldn't become

00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:25.419
a human rights lawyer, but... I try to do something

00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:30.779
connected to that every once in a while. Helping

00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:36.559
people and trying to be useful in that sense.

00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:41.399
And that fools me. I can't go back in time. But

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.539
if you're deciding what to do in your career,

00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.340
I would suggest to sit with yourself. Sometimes

00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:50.509
think about... everything you're good at and

00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:53.210
your passions and i don't know write them all

00:10:53.210 --> 00:10:57.529
down and then look at those and start deciding

00:10:57.529 --> 00:11:00.889
what to study or what to do in your career based

00:11:00.889 --> 00:11:03.169
on those and that could change that could shift

00:11:03.169 --> 00:11:05.909
i was into fashion and then it completely changed

00:11:05.909 --> 00:11:09.929
a couple of years later so and That can also

00:11:09.929 --> 00:11:12.690
change for yourself. Like when you decide what

00:11:12.690 --> 00:11:14.350
to study, that doesn't mean that you have to

00:11:14.350 --> 00:11:16.909
do that as a job too. So it could be connected,

00:11:16.929 --> 00:11:20.649
but it could also be something that changed throughout

00:11:20.649 --> 00:11:24.169
your career. So the different positions that

00:11:24.169 --> 00:11:29.250
you have are not connected to a specific degree

00:11:29.250 --> 00:11:31.889
that you have. It could be just also based on

00:11:31.889 --> 00:11:34.549
something that is interesting for you in that

00:11:34.549 --> 00:11:39.000
specific moment of your life. well well well

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.259
