Join host Kabir Malik as he explores career pivots and unexpected second, third or even fourth, acts. Each episode features him in conversation with someone who made their mark in their chosen profession, before stepping away to pursue something entirely different. These are stories of reinvention, risk and reward.


We start by diving in to what drove their initial success, hearing about the professional highs and personal challenges of their first career, to the moment they realised it was time for a change, and how they made the transition into their next role.


Whether you’re starting out and wondering how to get your ideal job, or you’ve felt the pull of a new direction and wondered what it might involve to take the first step, we hope you’ll be inspired by the conversations we have, as we hear about the creative moves each guest made in their career that led them to the path they’re on.

  • Ep 12 • From Capturing Sound to Shaping Style • Ryan Chandler
    Jun 23 2026

    From his first job at Bowers & Wilkins, luxury British audio brand, it was a given Ryan would end up working with sound.


    Moving from recording studio to recording sound on-set and location for film and TV, an opportunity too good to resist led him to taking over independent fashion store Meet Bernard, with his wife Dani, in 2016.


    Transforming the business into a successful fashion and lifestyle brand with men's & women's stores in East Dulwich, they’ve proved that a discerning eye for product-buying, combined with a talent for informative and inclusive social content, is a winning formula that appeals to their community of highly-engaged local, and online, customers.

  • Ep 10 • From Book-keeping to Beat Counting • Kabir Malik
    Oct 30 2025

    In the final episode of Creative Moves, things come full circle as our host Kabir Malik steps into the guest chair. This time, it’s his old boss and friend, Joce Capper, asking the questions. From his early days working at the Passport Office to becoming the go-to sales guy for post-production houses across Soho, Kabir’s career has been anything but ordinary.

    He shares stories from along the way, in a candid chat about resilience, self-retraining and how his love of music, and his gift for really listening, have led him into a whole new chapter where he’s finally following his true passions.

    ** TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussion around mental health, addiction and childhood trauma **
