This episode I was joined by the comedic duo behind the instafamous Inspired Unemployed, self proclaimed ‘Aussie battlers’ Jack Steele and Matt Ford. Other than having great names that make them sound like iconic Formula One drivers, the pair have recently come to fame, taking instagram by storm with their hilarious video skits.

The past year has been a whirlwind for the pair and the fruits of their labour have allowed them to leave their jobs and do what was (and still is) something they do for fun, full-time. To date, videos of the guys parodying everyone from surfers and tradies, to policemen and seamen have resulted in partnerships and fetures that they ‘just couldn’t have predicted’. Like for example, being the cover of GQ magazine’s online style issue in partnership with Italian luxury brand Fendi, working with Kayo Sports alongside Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee, or having a 4 page spread in Vogue Australia!

The boys joined me in January to chat about their lives, friendship and the genesis of their project that took place in what sounds like a selection of some of the worst Airbnbs the French Alps has to offer! They speak humbly about the work that’s gone into creating the success they’ve seen to date, how they try to soak in and appreciate the barrage of insane opportunities that continue to come their way and their goals for the future.

I had a great time chatting to the lads, so I hope this gives a behind the scenes look at how genuine they both are - as Jack says, what you see is what you get and I’m sure you can agree, it’s great.

Whenever you’re in need of a laugh be sure to check out their instagram (@theinspiredunemployed).

Thanks as always for listening and I’ll catch you in the next episode
