So you have to aspire to be the best version of yourself and not someone else.”</em></b></p><p>In this episode, I interview the inspirational Felicity Hayward. Felicity is a model, activist and a true ambassador for body positivity.<br> <br>She was first scouted to be a model whilst dancing to Diana Ross in an East London pub, which says a lot about her personality! Since then she became one of the first plus-size pioneers in the UK promoting body diversity in many high-end fashion editorials. She’s also done campaigns for leading brands such as ASOS, Adidas, Mac Cosmetics, TK Maxx and many more. She’s also been on Channel 4’s acclaimed body positivity program naked beach. <br> <br> And we had an absolute blast. I’m in absolute awe of Felicity, not only for what she’s done in her modelling work but her infectious personality and the passion for helping more women to accept their bodies. In fact, we discuss at length how their no such thing as the perfect body, as there are no two humans on this planet that are the same. </p><p>We cover a lot of topic as per usual, including some pretty shocking behaviours in the fashion world, the one that stood out was Felicity being asked to go to the prestigious British Fashion award and being given only one outfit to try on whilst other women who were a smaller size got to have the ability to choose different outfits. </p><p>I don’t want to give any more away so please enjoy the fantastic Felicity Hayward.</p>]]></description> | |

I think a lot of women of our generation are just adding things into our to do list. So now I'm going to run a business and now I'm going to have children and now I'm going to write a book or and we're not taking anything out. And at the same time a lot of us are trying to emulate our mothers by being the good friend, the good wife, the good sister, the good mother. I just think it's prime for disaster” Steph Douglas</em></b></p><p> </p><p>In this episode I talked to Steph Douglas, founder of alternative online gift company Don’t Buy Her Flowers.</p><p> </p><p>Steph used to be in the world of marketing and advertising, from working in PR for a government department all the way to being a Marketing Manager for EDF Energy and running their London 2012 Olympic Sponsorship.</p><p> </p><p>BUT one day she decided to leave it all behind and follow her dream – setting up her own company called Don't Buy Her Flowers. It all started from an idea she had after having her first son, when everyone bought her flowers. She had gone through what was a demanding 9 months where not only was she pregnant with her first child, but her husband was diagnosed with cancer. So, when the doorbell kept ringing with flowers she thought it wasn’t really the most appropriate thing to give a new mum – something else to look after! </p><p> </p><p>She was feeling extremely overwhelmed at the time and thought there must be a way of giving more thoughtful gifts. Firstly, she started a blog to build her audience before roping in family members to help run the business, it's now going from strength to strength. </p><p> </p><p>What I loved about this episode is that we really got deep and personal.

Whether that's been a job, a role or a client relationship. But since having my own business, you realise you can’t walk away. And it’s because you can’t walk away that you realise that you can come out the other side, you come out often better with a better perspective.” Rania Robinson</em></b></p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I talk to Rania Robinson, CEO and Managing Partner of the award-winning ad agency Quiet Storm.</p><p> </p><p>Rania who was born in Cairo Egypt and arrived in the UK at 3 years old, starting primary school without knowing a word of English. She lists her ability to get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable as one her superpowers, something she attributes to this experience. And unknowingly, this set her up perfectly for the volatile world of advertising.</p><p> </p><p>We talk at length about how she felt directionless and going from job to job after leaving school at 16. That was until she got her first proper break at big ad agency Billington Cartmel. But things weren’t easy, as she joined an industry that at the time was adamant you must have the correct qualification to succeed. However, that didn’t deter Rania who went on to successfully work her way up the ranks, progressing through different planning, strategy and production roles. </p><p> </p><p>We also talked about how having children helped her gain a different perspective, recognising that the industry wasn’t compatible with being a mother and deciding instead to go freelance so she could be in charge of her hours. </p><p> </p><p>And of course, we talked about the dynamic of working with her husband Trevor Robinson OBE who originally founded Quiet Storm 25 years ago. She was only supposed to help out for a pitch and thought because of their relationship it wouldn’t work long term. However, she found this relationship to be a huge strength. It means there’s no bullshit, they go straight to the point to get to decisions made, meaning they can concentrate on creating memorable work for their clients. </p><p> </p><p>So much to learn from this conversation, I hope you enjoy listening to it as much I did recording it!</p>]]></description> | |

| <description><![CDATA[<p><b><em>“I always I think it's inevitable that in certain music videos and certain artists they want to be sexy and that's just always been the way music has gone on…but I've also felt very much that I am responsible for not exploiting the artist and so I think I've just listened to my instinct, followed my taste and tried to keep it tasteful. I mean with Katy Perry “I kissed a girl” could have been really inappropriate and crass. I tried to keep it sexy but also feminine and sensual rather than sexual. I never actually wanted to see girls kissing, that would just be taking it too far. I think the idea of the fantasy element of it was so much more interesting.”</em></b></p><p>In this episode, I talk to Kinga Burza. Kinga is a Polish-Australian music video director who has directed over 35 music videos, combining over 750 million YouTube views for artists such as Katy Perry, Calvin Harris, Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa, just to name a few. And she’s won a few awards along the way as well. In between, shooting music videos she’s also directed a few fashion films and commercials for brands such as L'Oreal, Special K, Vogue, and iD magazine. So a talented woman to say the least! </p><p>During our conversation, she talks openly about the importance of following your own internal voice. She recalls that when she first started out, she had a lot of people around her who were negative about her abilities – from her parents who would push for her to ‘settle down and get married’ to an ex-boyfriend who would belittle her abilities to make it as a film director. </p><p>So how did a young woman from Australia managed to create and direct some of the most iconic music videos of the last decade? We talk at length about all her different achievements and how she managed to make it in such a competitive industry. For her it was simple, she had to focus on the things she could control which was getting her head down, persevere and just work really hard. She also had another disadvantage, she was practically the only female music director at the time, something she said she had to ignore, with the result being some of the best music videos around. </p><p>I got to really uncover what the world of music video making is really like, all the different stakeholders and how it’s never as glamorous as it seems. <br><br>As usual, my guest was super honest, and I thank her for it! I hope you enjoy this insightful and entertaining conversation.</p><p> </p>]]></description> | |

Kinga is a Polish-Australian music video director who has directed over 35 music videos, combining over 750 million YouTube views for artists such as Katy Perry, Calvin Harris, Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa, just to name a few. And she’s won a few awards along the way as well. In between, shooting music videos she’s also directed a few fashion films and commercials for brands such as L'Oreal, Special K, Vogue, and iD magazine. So a talented woman to say the least! </p><p>During our conversation, she talks openly about the importance of following your own internal voice. She recalls that when she first started out, she had a lot of people around her who were negative about her abilities – from her parents who would push for her to ‘settle down and get married’ to an ex-boyfriend who would belittle her abilities to make it as a film director. </p><p>So how did a young woman from Australia managed to create and direct some of the most iconic music videos of the last decade? We talk at length about all her different achievements and how she managed to make it in such a competitive industry. For her it was simple, she had to focus on the things she could control which was getting her head down, persevere and just work really hard. She also had another disadvantage, she was practically the only female music director at the time, something she said she had to ignore, with the result being some of the best music videos around. </p><p>I got to really uncover what the world of music video making is really like, all the different stakeholders and how it’s never as glamorous as it seems. <br><br>As usual, my guest was super honest, and I thank her for it! I hope you enjoy this insightful and entertaining conversation.</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded> | |

| <description><![CDATA[<p><b>“I think there's a lot of time, I totally feel out of my depth. This weekend being a prime example, I had to do three different events with the ‘Irishman' film lot, so you know - Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel and it's just like literally A. Someone pinch me and B. What the hell am I doing here?”</b></p><p>In this episode, I talk to Edith Bowman. Edith is a broadcaster and writer and has been working in TV and Radio for nearly 20 years. Formerly a host on BBC Radio 1 and Virgin Radio, she has also presented many music and film-related TV shows like The Baftas and Glastonbury.</p><p>Recently, she has successfully created her own podcast called 'Soundtracking', a weekly half-hour show where she interviews renown filmmakers about their musical influences and their choice of music in films. </p><p>So, as you can imagine, I was super eager to talk to her and find out what it’s like to have such a varied career. What stood out for me was Edith’s passion for her job and her relentless pursuit to do the things she loves: Music & Film. It’s her strong internal guiding voice that’s clearly helped her navigate the world of showbusiness, which as she confesses has not always been easy. </p><p>In fact, she is refreshingly honest about all the different types of rejections she’s received over the years and how she’s overcome them. We talk about the fact that when she first started out, she was told she could never be a radio host because of her thick Scottish accent. And of course, that’s not the case and Edith has gone on to interview countless famous celebrities, including Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro just to name a few. Her accent is now her trademark and often breaks the ice with the people she interviews, with Joaquin Phoenix recently attempting to imitate it.</p><p>We also chat about her feeling nervous and blagging it, to my surprise Edith confesses that she still gets extremely nervous and sometimes even feels out of her depth when doing interviews – who would have thought it! But of course, this doesn’t show and she reveals her tricks on how she is able to use that nervous energy to push on with the interview. </p><p>We cover so many different subjects and to say that I enjoyed my conversation would be an understatement. In fact, our chat goes on for a tad longer than usual but completely worth it.</p>]]></description> | |

If I thought about that, I would just go home, get into bed, pull the covers it never come out again.” </b></p><p>In this episode, I had the privilege to interview Cindy Gallop at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity earlier this year.

As usual I go through her entire career and the key themes within her journey that we can learn from. </p><p>And of course, being Cindy there is plenty to learn from. Cindy tells it like it is and I love for her it. For example, we talk about sex and society's reluctance to talk openly and honestly about it. The danger of porn becoming sex education when it’s simply manufactured entertainment. This is why she started her company ‘Make love not porn’ to try and combat that very problem. </p><p>We also talk about the advertising industry as a whole, Cindy is very vocal on social media about trying to really change this industry.

But also, I found talking about money, really, has helped my friendships and my relationships, because…it doesn't get in the way of having a proper conversation. We learn from each other; we share our tips and knowledge. And also, you learn about yourself in conversation by hearing yourself speak out loud. </em></b> </p><p>In this episode, I talk to Alex holder. Alex worked in the world of advertising for 12 years before dramatically deciding to just quit one day. We talk about this at length in this episode and what led to her finding her voice, so to speak, becoming a freelance writer and consultant for well-known magazines such as Elle and Stylist, and most recently publishing her first book ‘The Money Book’ an important look at how we need to destigmatizes the way we talk, think and feel about money.</p><p>As usual with the podcast, we look at key themes within her journey that we can all learn from. And there is plenty to draw from. Subjects such as the importance of quitting your job when you are unhappy, really listening to yourself and having confidence in your own abilities and skills and more importantly knowing those skills can be transferrable for any job. </p><p>We talk, of course, about Money. The subject of her first book and her passion to get more people to talk more openly about it. She rightly points out that the more transparent we are with money, the more that we can understand each other’s circumstances as well counteract pay gaps at work. By being open, the powers at the top of businesses with big pay gaps will have no place to hide. </p><p>Alex is wonderfully honest throughout, she even divulges how much she earns because if you preach it, you must practice it. This is why this whole episode is so compelling to listen with plenty to learn from along the way!</p>]]></description> | |

By being open, the powers at the top of businesses with big pay gaps will have no place to hide. </p><p>Alex is wonderfully honest throughout, she even divulges how much she earns because if you preach it, you must practice it. This is why this whole episode is so compelling to listen with plenty to learn from along the way!</p>]]></content:encoded> | |

We talk about this at length in this episode and what led to her finding her voice, so to speak, becoming a freelance writer and consultant for well-known magazines such as Elle and Stylist, and most recently publishing her first book ‘The Money Book’ an important look at how we need to destigmatizes the way we talk, think and feel about money.]]></itunes:summary> | |

| <description><![CDATA[<p><b>“And then you have to sell work to clients, and guess what? They are men, and then you have to get it made by directors. And they are men. And then, if you want your career to progress, you need to win awards. And largely in the past, all the juries are men and then you look back and you go, historically, the work that’s winning awards is sport, beer, football, technology, cars. So you see, it's not that it's innately against women, it's just nature’s way. So until we've addressed that balance, and thank goodness it’s finally happening, it's very hard as a woman to get on [in this world]… and I did struggle, if I'm honest, I look back and go, my portfolio of work should be better.”</b></p><p>In this episode, I talk to Rosie Arnold. Rosie is an icon in the world of Advertising. She joined the world-famous ad agency BBH straight from art school in 1983. And she stayed there 33 years, learning her craft and working closely with its founder John Hegarty. After the passing of her husband, she decided she needed a change and went on to work for another acclaimed ad agency AMVBBDO. But before too long, she felt it was time to leave agency life to pursue personal projects. </p><p>So as you can imagine we covered a lot, from landing at BBH where she got to see this hot creative shop grow from 11 people to over 400 staff, and with agencies across the world.</p><p>We discussed what it was like to work with her mentor John Hegarty as well as some of her iconic ads including her favourite work for Pretty Polly tights and Levi’s Jeans. </p><p>What stood out for me was her ability to paint me a picture of this ‘Mad Men world’ as she puts it. Because of course, Rosie saw it all – the highs and the lows this industry has to offer. </p><p>One incident that stood out for me was incidents along the way and one that particularly stood out for me was when she was promoted to a bigger role, they tried to pay her less than her male predecessor. Fortunately, he had very helpfully shared how much he was paid so when they offered her less, she was able to demand what was rightfully hers. </p><p>It was such a lovely conversation, full of important stories that we can hopefully all learn from.</p><p> </p>]]></description> | |

Purposely, I wasn't trying to look at the industry. I was trying to explore how other people, other creative industries, and the world sees coms. As a result, I came back with renewed vigour as to where it is we can add value and what's exciting about it, but also where we waste a lot of our life. You know, there's so much faffing. And there's quite a lot of complicity between clients and agencies that use each other as a bit of a crutch.”</b></p><p>In this episode, I talk to Natalie Graeme who famously founded the creative studio Uncommon 18 months ago with partners Nils Leonard & Lucy Jameson, one of the UK’s only majority female-founded creative studios. </p><p>As per usual with the podcast we go in deep, discussing a variety of subjects and advice from how to avoid burn out to the importance of creating headspace in order to come up with ideas.</p><p>We also go through her amazing career journey and how she landed at the advertising agency Grey managing and leading over 550 people, along with the importance of putting a structure in place so you can let your team thrive and avoid micro-managing. </p><p>But most importantly, we talk about why it was so important for her to start her own agency. Starting with the famous year-long gardening leave imposed by Sir Martin Sorrel before her and her partners could open up shop. Uncommon is already a successful creative studio that has a different, and some might say unconventional, approach to creating better work.</p><p>I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did recording it!</p>]]></description> | |

And when we do make something of ourselves, then we worry that we're going to lose it or that we're not going to be able to sustain it” </b>– Debbie Millman<br><br></p><p>I’m pleased to announce an extra special episode of This Way Up (<a href="http://www.thiswayup.io">www.thiswayup.io</a>).

She has been named “one of the most creative people in business” by <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/">Fast Company</a>, and “one of the most influential designers working today” by <a href=" http://gdusa.com/">Graphic Design USA</a>.</p><p><br>As the founder and host of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/sa/podcast/design-matters-with-debbie-millman/id328074695">Design Matters</a>, one of the world’s first and longest running podcasts, Millman has interviewed nearly 600 artists, designers and cultural commentators over the past 14+ years including <a href="https://tim.blog">Tim Ferris</a>, <a href="http://www.roxanegay.com/">Roxane Gay</a>, <a href="https://www.pentagram.com/about/paula-scher">Paula Scher</a>, <a href="https://davidleeroth.com/ ">David Lee Roth</a>, <a href="https://sagmeisterwalsh.com/">Stefan Sagmeister</a>, <a href="https://www.designmattersmedia.com/designmatters">Massimo Vignelli</a> , <a href="http://www.debbiemillman.com/designmatters/milton-glaser/">Milton Glaser</a> to name a few.</p><p><br>Debbie is also President Emeritus of <a href="https://www.aiga.org/">AIGA</a>, one of only five women to have held the position in the organization’s 100-year history.

From the outside, it looks like she has had a smooth ride has achieved all she has set out to do. The truth is far more interesting. She faced challenges at every step of the way and it is her ability to walk headlong into these and be prepared to put herself out there is the key to her success.<br><br><br>There are a lot of fascinating stories in Debbie’s career and I was privileged to really dig into and draw out some really good lessons for all us to learn from. Stories such as how to recover from shame and rejection, ‘the slugfest’ as Debbie’s calls it, why she needed to start her podcast design matters to nourish her creative soul. We looked at how to handle bad bosses and the devastating impact it can have on your self-confidence, how desperation can sometimes be the best catalyst to push yourself over that difficult threshold and how to give ultimatums at work in order to get a promotion.</p><p><br>I really hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did and find it as useful in your own journey.</p>]]></description> | |

It was recorded Live on stage at the famous <a href="http://www.dandad.org">Design and Advertising festival</a> in London in May 2019 and features the amazing <a href="http://www.debbiemillman.com/">Debbie Millman</a>.<br><br></p><p><b>___________________________________________<br></b><br></p><p><b>Debbie Millman</b> (<a href="https://twitter.com/debbiemillman">@debbiemillman</a>) is a true design icon - she has helped design some of the most recognisable logos on the planet including Burger King, Hershey’s, Haagen Dazs, Tropicana and Gillette to name just a few. She has been named “one of the most creative people in business” by <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/">Fast Company</a>, and “one of the most influential designers working today” by <a href=" http://gdusa.com/">Graphic Design USA</a>.</p><p><br>As the founder and host of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/sa/podcast/design-matters-with-debbie-millman/id328074695">Design Matters</a>, one of the world’s first and longest running podcasts, Millman has interviewed nearly 600 artists, designers and cultural commentators over the past 14+ years including <a href="https://tim.blog">Tim Ferris</a>, <a href="http://www.roxanegay.com/">Roxane Gay</a>, <a href="https://www.pentagram.com/about/paula-scher">Paula Scher</a>, <a href="https://davidleeroth.com/ ">David Lee Roth</a>, <a href="https://sagmeisterwalsh.com/">Stefan Sagmeister</a>, <a href="https://www.designmattersmedia.com/designmatters">Massimo Vignelli</a> , <a href="http://www.debbiemillman.com/designmatters/milton-glaser/">Milton Glaser</a> to name a few.</p><p><br>Debbie is also President Emeritus of <a href="https://www.aiga.org/">AIGA</a>, one of only five women to have held the position in the organization’s 100-year history. She also an educator and co-founded with <a href="https://www.hellerbooks.com/">Steven Heller</a> the world’s first masters program in branding at the <a href="http://branding.sva.edu/">School of Visual Arts</a> in New York City, which has received international acclaim.</p><p><br>Finally, she’s currently working with Law & Order SVU actor and activist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariska_Hargitay">Mariska Hargitay’s</a> <a href="http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/">Joyful Heart Foundation</a> to eradicate sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse and the rape-kit backlog.</p><p><br><b>___________________________________________</b></p><p><br>Above all this what makes this talk so special is Debbie's openness to talk about the bumps in her career. From the outside, it looks like she has had a smooth ride has achieved all she has set out to do. The truth is far more interesting. She faced challenges at every step of the way and it is her ability to walk headlong into these and be prepared to put herself out there is the key to her success.<br><br><br>There are a lot of fascinating stories in Debbie’s career and I was privileged to really dig into and draw out some really good lessons for all us to learn from. Stories such as how to recover from shame and rejection, ‘the slugfest’ as Debbie’s calls it, why she needed to start her podcast design matters to nourish her creative soul. We looked at how to handle bad bosses and the devastating impact it can have on your self-confidence, how desperation can sometimes be the best catalyst to push yourself over that difficult threshold and how to give ultimatums at work in order to get a promotion.</p><p><br>I really hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did and find it as useful in your own journey.</p>]]></content:encoded> | |

Rosie is a strategist and together with husband Faris Yakob (@farisy) they form the company Genius Steals, a strategy and innovation consultancy. What makes Rosie’s story so unique is that she is a nomad. Rosie and Faris left their last permanent home in New York 5 years ago to travel the world, working with leading brands and agencies on various projects for just a few weeks at a time before jetting off to a new location, soaking up different cultures as they go. We talk about the various roles Rosie mastered as a young strategist, how to deal with people trying to rip you off and how she made the transition to a nomadic life on the road.]]></description> | |

| <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I interview Katy Sumption. Katy is not only a creative director but also the co-founder of The Elephant Room. Katy has had an interesting journey, to say the least. From far, it might seem like your usual advertising path but for a young female creative rising up the ranks of old boys clubs nowhere near easy. We go through her journey and discuss how she went from a successful role, as senior creative at Iris to co-founder of her own advertising agency. Including, the importance of building a diverse team to create meaningful work.</p>]]></description> | |
