Entrepreneurship...On Our Terms ft. Jama...

THE OPEN UNIVERSITY
About this episode

On this week’s episode of Life...On Our Terms, host Gemma Cairney is talking to entrepreneur, film maker and music executive Jamal Edwards MBE. As founder of SBTV he was able to grow the online music channel into a YouTube heavyweight with over a million subscribers, making Jamal the ideal voice to help us understand how other budding entrepreneurs can get their start. Together, Gemma and Jamal will be discussing building success from scratch, the importance of mentorship and why being open and receptive to new ideas is a key part of learning.


Gemma is later joined by Isabelle, a student with The Open University, who like Jamal - thrives off setting her own goals and achieving them. They discuss how Isabelle’s qualification is starting her off on a journey towards her dream career, the satisfaction of excelling and how she’s applying the skills she’s learning to her very own beauty vlog and YouTube channel.
