Episode 4: Dr Ozgur (Oz) Yalcin with Chris Antartis

A conversation about the long way into meaningful work.

I didn’t take a straight path into psychology.

I left school early, worked in hospitality, moved to Perth with very little money and no clear plan, and eventually found my way into university, clinical psychology, leadership, and ANIMA.

This conversation with Rebel Radio is about the risks, doubts, instincts, people, and turning points that shaped that path.

It is also about ADHD, identity, backing yourself before the outcome is guaranteed, and how life can look very different when someone gets the chance to keep going.

Not a polished success story.

More of a conversation about what happens when you keep moving before you know exactly where you are going.

  • Hospitality before psychology

  • Moving to Perth
