In this Outlawbrary episode, Kate and Shayla dive into The Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom and ask a deceptively simple question: what if financial wealth isn’t the only kind of wealth that matters?

Sahil Bloom’s Five Pillars of Wealth framework challenges the traditional scoreboard of success. Instead of measuring life purely by income, status or external validation, he argues that we should also be investing in time wealth, social wealth, mental wealth and physical wealth.

For high performers, especially lawyers and professionals trained to optimise for achievement, this conversation hits close to home.

We also explore whether this kind of framework feels obvious… or whether it’s exactly what people stuck in high-pressure careers need to hear.

And yes, we share honest thoughts about what worked in the book, what didn’t, and whether we’d recommend it.

If you’ve been quietly wondering whether the ladder you’re climbing is leaning against the right wall, this episode is for you.

What happens when telling the truth could cost you your career?

In this Outlaws Diary episode, Kate and Shayla sit down with Rabia Siddique, international human rights lawyer, former British Army officer, and leadership consultant, to explore what it really means to choose truth over safety.

From a hostage crisis in Iraq to a discrimination case against the UK government, Rabia’s story is extraordinary. But the tension at its core is universal: what do you do when the system tells you to stay quiet?

This episode explores courageous leadership, workplace discrimination, whistleblowing, and what it really means to speak truth to power. Rabia shares the personal and professional cost of challenging authority, and why values-based leadership often requires breaking the rules that protect powerful institutions.

We talk about what happens when silence feels like complicity, why speaking up can feel career-ending, and how real leadership sometimes begins the moment you refuse to comply.

– Rabia’s journey from Legal Aid lawyer to the British Army – The hostage crisis in Iraq and what happened behind closed doors – The discrimination case that challenged the UK government and military – Why injustice by those you trust can cut deeper than trauma itself – What whistleblowing really costs and why it matters – How to practise ethical, values-based leadership inside rigid systems – The myth that success requires perfection and conformity – Why you don’t have to be in a war zone to feel “held hostage” by your career

This conversation moves beyond the extraordinary circumstances of a military hostage situation and into something far more familiar: the moments in our own careers where we feel stuck, silenced, or pressured to conform.

And sometimes, the real outlaw move is this: speak up anyway.

What if your side hustle wasn’t about making money, but about becoming more of yourself?

In this Outlaws After Dark episode, Kate and Shayla are joined by Sandrine Alexandre-Hughes, a lawyer and mum of three who built a creative side hustle while working full time, not to chase millions, but to explore something her legal career simply couldn’t offer.

After hearing devastating stories about online grooming and bullying, Sandrine felt compelled to act. Instead of approaching the problem with fear or lectures, she asked a different question: if the problem is dark, does the solution have to be? That question led to All the Likes, a card game that teaches online safety through play, followed by Smoke, Mirrors and Filters, a conversation game about our digital habits and the conversations we avoid.

What followed wasn’t overnight success or financial freedom. It was exposure to creativity, manufacturing, education, media, and whole new worlds that sit well outside the legal profession. This episode is an honest look at starting a side hustle without quitting your job, and what can open up when you stop overthinking and start making.

In this episode

• Building a side hustle while working full time, without a grand plan or exit strategy
• Why Sandrine never saw herself as creative, and how the creative process surprised her
• The reality of starting a creative side hustle from scratch, sketches, designers, manufacturing, and learning as you go
• How legal training both helped and hindered her ability to create
• Why not all side hustles are meant to become businesses, and why that’s okay
• Marketing, visibility, and the parts of a side hustle that are far less glamorous
• Why boredom, rest, and stepping away often unlock the best ideas
• Practical advice for starting a side hustle without quitting your job, including one small first step
