Bridging the gap between full-time education and the big wide world

Gaby Mendes graduated with a degree in education back in 2016, but after moving into teaching, she quickly realised there was a gap that needed to be bridged between leaving full-time education and entering the adult world of work. 

She originally planned to launch with in-person events, but the pandemic delivered an unexpectedly good outcome in the form of the Talk Twenties Podcast. Discussing the highs and lows of life in your twenties, the podcast now has over 25,000 listeners and was a finalist in the British Podcast Awards 2021. 

Talk Twenties is all about helping young people in their twenties to build confidence and remind them that no one has it all figured out. The education system doesn’t prepare people for much of adult life, but Talk Twenties is here to help twenty-somethings navigate everything from sorting out their finances, starting a new career, buying a house or making new friends.

In today’s episode, we hear from 27-year-old entrepreneur Gaby on how she built an award-winning podcast, online learning platform and thriving community that helps thousands of young people level up in their twenties.
