How to set up a business, for idiots.

It's me, I'm the idiot.

Hi trolls,

It’s hump day! Super cringe of me. Loads in here today so my usual waffle is dispersed below. Get your tickets to Drink It In Festival, at Peckham Levels. Super cool event set up by our pal Stuart, and we’ve got you a code for 15% off tickets.

New brands to try and review for free on Watch Humans Try It! Read how to set up a business for idiots (me), how to get paid to read aloud, and the experiences of a chronic creative side hustler.

2x competitions, and 2x super cool opportunities in the jobs section — Vy of FEISTY Protein Soda is on the hunt for a CO-FOUNDER. And the Eastenders team are looking for a Storyliner. The Dream. Scroll to find out more.

A lovely selection of jobs, and a toe-curling cringey Worst Work Story, as always, at the bottom.

Love, Isobel xox Editor of GJFBP

Competition Time: Learn Acting with Brian Cox

Win a 5 hour BBC Maestro course! Not Brian Cox the physicist who does the space shows. And not actual Brian Cox the actor — he’s on the screen looking all cool and suave (see below) and giving you all the best acting advice. (I can’t inspire you to act. I am chronically behind screen.)

Look, you’re going to be the next Tom Cruise or Kate Winslet, but you might get some audiobook gigs (read how to get paid to read aloud) or do it simply because it’s fun, different, and not watching “what I eat in a day” Tiktoks. ❤️

For the job-hunters:

FEISTY | Protein Soda | Co Founder

Wanted! ‘Type A’ Co-Founder

“I’m looking for a partner in Feisty world domination. A co-founder. ‘Protein Soda’ could be the next functional drinks category. The next Olipop dare I say. But I’m not sure, I alone, can maximise this potential. Ideally looking for some good with finance/ops, fundraising. More importantly someone who understands the challenges of working in a startup.”
