## Resource

When nobody would give Nick Giannopoulos a role, he created his own. In this episode, he joins Sam and Sarah to talk about growing up above his parents’ milk bar, the unexpected rise of Wogs Out of Work , betting everything on The Wog Boy , and the moment he realised just how much of his success came from his father. It’s a conversation about backing yourself, finding your audience, and why waiting for permission rarely works.  Guest Nick Giannopoulos ( Wogs Out of Work , Acropolis Now, The Wog Boy)  Insta @nick_giannopoulos *Hosted by Sam Frost and Sarah Roberts, Cracking On is a podcast about the beautiful chaos of picking yourself up, resetting, and getting on with it.
