Nick’s life can get busy. He recently published his first comic which he sold at the Soup Festival. He is now in talks with people about selling his comic at a bookstall at the Victoria Market.
Nick also started a new job selling The Big Issue magazine. It’s a good job for someone like Nick who is friendly, funny, chatty and welcoming. He has met a whole lot of new people and has reconnected with an old mate who he is meeting up with regularly at a local community lunch. He is also going to Big Issue crew events. It took Nick a while to find things that he wanted to connect to and stick with. Nick definitely tried a few things that didn’t work, but what did work was continuing to have a go and finding opportunities that made sense for a great bloke who likes people and who has a talent for telling jokes and writing them down.
One of the great things about his job is that when Nick has missed a week of selling the magazine, people ask us where Nick has been because they missed seeing him. That’s great because one of the ways of knowing you are part of something is when people miss you when you aren’t there.
