#11

In this episode, we talk with Samantha Jockel, founder and CEO of ParentTV - a go-to platform for on-demand video resources that support parents, schools, childcare center professionals, and organisations contributing to education, care, and wellbeing of children.

Our Expert Samantha Jockel

Sam has been running her own online businesses for the past seven years, following her social work and studies in community development at university. During this time, Sam built large communities using social media and her natural ability in community development. As a parent of three children herself, Sam was able to connect with other parents genuinely and provide valuable insights. However, a tragic year made Sam realize that despite all the available resources, things were not improving for kids, and mental health issues among young people were at an all-time high. This inspired Sam to create ParentTV, a company that aims to educate and support parents in navigating new parenting challenges and enabling a positive future for their families. Sam's mission is to build a trusted company that connects parents to a local and global community and helps them navigate their parenting journey.

In this episode we cover:

- ParentTV and its service in childcare
- How engaging content helps guides parents and childcare staff efficiently
- Staff training and retention
- Describing excellence in an early education program

Last show of Season 1 and I'm back with another interview, this time with the co-hosts of a great radio show 'Five in the Eye'. Follow them on twitter @5intheeye.

Michael & Phil have done over 200 shows on Colourful Radio and they're still going strong. Catch them every Friday between 9am - 10am.

Michael Ohajuru is a semi-retired former sales exec in the mobile communications industry, who now delivers incredible talks on the black African presence in Renaissance Europe.

Phil Woodford runs training courses in marketing, lectures at the University of the Arts, has twice stood for Parliament, and has a black belt in aikido).

Here's two guys with very different backgrounds but somehow they've developed this great chemistry that just works on their show.

In this week's episode, I explore with Michael & Phil the essence of their chemistry, how the show started, where they want to take it to, and of course the QuickFire 10 Question Round.

That's it for Season 1. Thanks to all for tuning in. I'm off for a much needed holiday so see you in Season 2.
