Summary
Two careers in uniform. Two lives fully lived. One brilliant conversation. Summary / Description: Selling Out! is the podcast for LGBTQIA+ founders, leaders and creatives. Real conversations about building a life and a career on your own terms — straight jackets not included. 🏳️🌈 For our very first episode, we’re joined by two guests who couldn’t have more in common — or more to say. Georgie Dutton (she/her) went from waitressing to the Prison Service, and is now a PT and Bar Manager at The Bottom’s Rest in Brighton — one of the city’s most beloved LGBTQIA+ spaces, owned by Brighton Gin. Mike Gallagher (he/him) spent his career rising through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police Service, reaching Commander in the Specialist Firearms Command, and leading on LGBTQI+ issues for the Police Superintendents Association for England & Wales. He now co-owns two much-loved LGBTQIA+ community bars in Brighton & Hove, Affinity Bar & The Grosvenor. @AffinityGayBar @TheGrosvenorBarBrighton Two careers spent in some of Britain’s most traditionally straight-laced institutions. Two people who found a way to live authentically anyway. And two stories that will make you laugh, think, and feel incredibly proud to be part of this community. What happens when you finally take the straight jacket off? This is what it looks like. 🎧 New episodes drop on the first and third Friday of every month.
