In episode 250 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with Connor Smart.
Connor currently works in emergency planning and lives in a rural part of the Midlands with his fiancé and now, young son.
Connor and our Founder Freddie used to work together as interns at a think-tank in 2016 and Connor’s first piece of Vent content was an article he wrote in November 2017.
He then came on the podcast alongside his twin brother Lewis in JCIP #130 and once more in JCIP #144 where he interviewed Freddie for a very engaging and thought-provoking conversation through the lens of three concepts: ‘Defeat’, ‘Struggle’ and ‘Growth’.
In this solo episode, we’re checking back in with Connor about a range of issues.
We reflect on his pod with his brother, what’s changed in both their lives since we recorded and how he felt he did when interviewing Freddie.
We also discuss fatherhood, finally feeling settled in a career path he is enjoying, the difference between urban vs rural life, his 10 year relationship with his fiancé and identity.
As always, #itsokaytovent
