The What Happened Podcast
JP Pienaar interviews people from many different professions to find out what they wanted to be when they were younger and what happened after that. We look at what career path(s) they went down and how they are doing in their current job. This podcast is meant to provide help to anyone of any age who is considering what career to pursue. This includes school students who are thinking about what to study at University, people who have been working for a few years and would like to change to another career that they actual enjoy and people who think it’s too late or that they are too old to change their current career situation. Each week we interview someone to find out what it is actually like to work in their profession. If you have ever considered making a move to a different profession then this podcast will help you to find out what that profession is actually like. Most people don’t pursue their true passion. They end up working a job that they hate, to pay the bills. This podcast highlights that we all experience the same kinds of road blocks when trying to pursue our true passion as a career. Those who are truly happy are those who break through these road blocks to pursue their passion. In the words of Tyler Durden: “What did you want to be ? !!!!”

Episode 5
"Don’t be aggressive, rude or sarcastic, but be assertive."
Di Lewis joins us on the podcast for a look at what a day in the life of a PA is like. With over 40 years of experience Di has seen it all, with some of her secretarial experience even covering driving for Avis as well as commercial diving. Di wanted to study Food technology and instead went into the secretarial field and enjoyed it equally as much. Many years later Di also managed to return to Food technology and so has left no stone un-turned in her career. We take a look at what happened.
