Insights: Luke Whelan

They say if you write a wise saying, your name will live forever. What if you try and be a wisecrack on Youtube? Is that forever too? Watch the first episode of our new creative talks video series,Insights, where mostly ordinary (and occasionally extraordinary) young people share practical life and career advice. 

Here at Pilerats we like to live by the famous motto that genius is 1% inspiration... and 99% fucking around. Series 1 of Insights sees Pilerats attempt to elucide that 1% for you by putting ourselves on the firing line.

We kick off with Perth event company Metric's Founder / "Mayor of Fremantle", Mr. Luke Whelan, who comes in hot with his thoughts on the importance of defending your choice of work, particularly when working in a creative field. For his second pearl of wisdom, Luke muses, from an employers' point of view, on the benefits of investing time and respect in people. Watch the videos below:
