Out of Hours exists to help us become the people we want to be, and create the things we want to create, before we run out of hours.

Through resources, events, 1-1 coaching, and our podcast (listed in Esquire’s best podcasts) we aim to help you replace the ‘one day I’ll…’ sentences with taking your first steps to follow your own curiosity and trust your own ideas.

To live a more fulfilling life, we don’t need to quit our jobs either. We can start to live the life we love, and create what should exist, on the side - as side projects. We can experiment. We can remove some of the ‘shoulds’. We can play again.

I’m Georgia Ritter, and I set up Out of Hours to champion passion projects, creativity and authenticity, to tell the stories of those who have lived their lives as if they are running out of hours.

WORKSHOP & EVENTS

Building on a history of our first weekend events for creative, entrepreneurial people to make space for their side projects, we do corporate workshops, panel discussions and workshops.

Previous partners include General Assembly, D&AD and Leeds Arts University.

the out of hours PODCAST

Listed in Esquire’s Best Podcasts, the Out of Hours podcast documents the early, honest stories of people who started projects on the side, that have since turned into something huge. From creative businesses, non profits and social movements - we always interview the most interesting people making the most of their hours on this planet.

the out of hours NEWSLETTER

Many of us have new ideas all the time, but we often don’t think it could be us that start those ideas. It is often our own mental hurdles that hold us back from starting and building something that should exist in the world: Do we have enough time outside work? Will we look stupid? What if this all fails?

In our newsletter, we look at the most interesting side project success stories, the psychological research behind good ideas and the mental models required to build something meaningful.
