The Student Guide On ... With ... (Pick Up The Mic)
The Student Guide (formerly Pick Up The Mic) is Pick Up The Mic’s flagship conversation series, based in the UK. We believe everyone is a student of life. Whether you’re at university, building your career, changing direction, or simply trying to grow.
Each episode features honest, impactful conversations with founders, professionals, and community voices, exploring themes like race, identity, wellbeing, belonging, and personal development. We also spotlight practical support, tools, and resources that can help you navigate life’s big transitions. From education and work to confidence, purpose, and community.
At its heart, The Student Guide is rooted in real stories: our journeys, lessons, setbacks, and wins, shared to help listeners feel seen, learn something new, and take their next step with clarity.
