About this listen

Based on his new book - DRIVING MR. C. - stage director William Kerley has several lucrative projects cancelled, runs out of cash and, feeling a failure, is forced to take a side-hustle - chauffeuring a retired businessman in his luxury limousine.


With guest and celebrity interviews, William Kerley explores perceived notions of success and failure, the dangers of comparing yourselves to others, mid-career swerves, job-shaming, when family expect you to get a 'proper job' - and the joys of hanging out with an elderly eccentric.


It's a podcast for anyone who needs some encouragement to change paths in life - or to keep on going!

Created and Produced by Scott Carey.


William Kerley's book DRIVING MR. C. is available now at the Amazon Bookstore.

'A witty, remarkable and touching true story. Get yourself (or your ageing relative) a copy before Netflix make the movie!'

  • Cutting (H)edge Career Swerves
    Aug 22 2023

    In this episode Stage Director William Kerley talks to former pilot Nigel Smith and ex-businessman Dan Burgess, who walked away from high-flying but stressful careers in commerce and aviation, seeking a better work-life balance – and found fulfilment as tree surgeons.


    When the pandemic struck and all rehearsals and theatres closed, William Kerley took on a new side hustle Nigel and Dan - and found this woodcutting work, wrestling with nature, absolutely exhausting but a real revelation - and so good for the soul!

  • Side Hustles and Failing Better with Sunetra Sarker
    Mar 15 2023

    Based on his new book - DRIVING MR. C. - stage director William Kerley has several lucrative projects cancelled, runs out of cash and, feeling a failure, is forced to take a side-hustle - chauffeuring a retired businessman in his luxury limousine.


    In this episode, he talks to actress Sunetra Sarker about success and failure, her early days as a jobbing actor, side-hustles as "Office Angels Temp. of the Month" and for Westminster Council Parking Department, pressure from family to get a 'proper job' - geriatric delusions, stray dogs urinating on sofas, kind doctors, heroic carers - and how real life is often way funnier than fiction.
