Episode notes

"From freelancing as an entertainment writer to becoming the editor of Capacity Magazine, my journey has been anything but ordinary!" Matthew Whalley, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Ilex Content Strategies, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal, Chief Revenue Officer (Enterprise) at GMS.

In this engaging episode, Matthew takes us on a journey through his life—from growing up in Vancouver to making his way to London, where a life-changing phone call at a club set him on a new path. He reflects on the rich blend of Canadian, Italian, and Japanese influences that shape his identity and shares his passion for collecting vintage vinyl records from every corner of the world, especially when he's out at events around the world! And if life had taken a different turn, he might have pursued a career as a Michelin-star chef!

Matthew leaves us with a fitting mantra for life: an Italian quote that says, "It’s better to die of drink than of thirst," capturing his adventurous spirit and zest for new experiences!
