Aston has more than 100,000 alumni in 100 countries around the world, and between them, they’re building multi-million-pound empires, saving lives, competing in the Olympics, making TV appearances, getting themselves on Forbes 30 Under 30 lists, uncovering possibilities in AI, and a whole lot more.
In this podcast we interview Aston University alumni – some of the UK’s most employable graduates, and hear the remarkable stories of where their careers have taken them.
Get ready to be inspired, as we uncover what some of our alumni did, after Aston.
What to expect from Series 2 (Episodes 11-20)
Series 2 will be full of the same great stuff, but with a bit of a difference. This series, Geoff will be joined by a new co-host, Aimee Postle - Aston alumna, Coach, and Senior Teaching Fellow. You can expect candid conversations, career journeys, and a dose of inspiration from our global alumni community.
Series 1 Recap (Episodes 1-10)
Geoff Savage from Aston’s Community, Alumni Relations and Development team, and Aston graduate Katrina Raipuri interviewed 10 alumni about their career experiences so far. They heard from Christine who founded a global football franchise, Grace who became an award-winning cocktail entrepreneur, Sunjay who worked with Kylie Minogue, Simba who went on BBC’s The Apprentice, Gabriella who moved her career to Norway, Grace who became a BBC Breakfast Presenter, Paul who taught thousands of people to be better leaders, Sue who oversaw £6 billion of assets, James who lived and worked in 8 countries, and Rachel who project managed a new Cadbury chocolate bar. If that doesn’t sound like a fun line-up, quite frankly we don’t know what does.
You can find audio and video recordings on the Aston for Life platform, or listen on Spotify (or your usual podcast channel).
