From commercial art to creating his own world of expression, Metin Salih shares his journey of embracing imperfection and authenticity in art and life. We explore Wabi-Sabi, the evolving role of the artist in an AI driven work, and why the human touch is what truly makes art resonate.

We’re excited to welcome back Sarah Vine to the NAKEDVOICE Podcast 🎙️  A few years ago, Sarah shared her personal fertility journey with us. Since then, she’s turned that experience into something powerful — a new book on egg freezing, designed to help women navigate one of the most complex and emotional decisions they may face.  In this episode (What every women should know about egg freezing), we unpack: • Why egg freezing decisions feel so overwhelming • The gap between perception (thanks, sex ed + celebrity culture) and reality • What women actually experience — physically, emotionally, and financially • Why regret can go both ways — and how to reduce it • How better information can lead to calmer, more confident choices  Sarah brings honesty, clarity, and lived experience to a topic that’s often clouded by noise and pressure. Her mission is simple: help women feel informed, in control, and less alone in their fertility decisions.  Listen now and join the conversation.  #NAKEDVOICE #Fertility #EggFreezing #WomensHealth #ReproductiveHealth #IVF #HealthTech #Podcast 

This week we chat to Dominic Marchant about his fascinating journey – from starting off in consumer advertising to quickly setting up his own agency, eventually selling BOTH arms of that agency (consumer and health) to a large marketing and research group. After exiting, Dom cofounded ARK in 2018 and enjoyed rapid success, with ARK being acquired by OPEN Health just three years later. Today, Dom’s passion, with his co founder Oliver Childs, is their new business: Run Riot – a specialist running apparel company. Dom talks about his leanings setting up and selling two agencies and how running has truly been a great release from the stresses and strains of busy entrepreneurial life. 

While recovering from a double mastectomy, Becky realised something the entire industry had ignored: Bras aren’t designed for real bodies.Around 90% of women have uneven breasts—yet most bras are built as if symmetry is the norm. That insight didn’t just frustrate her. It led to action.Years of research, fittings and prototyping later, she built yoobra - a brand designed for women who’ve never quite been catered for.This episode isn’t just about bras. It’s about:Seeing what others overlook Designing for reality, not convention Building something that genuinely matters A challenge to an entire category.

In this week's episode, we chat with Seiko Angelo, not only about his fantastic and varied journey in advertising — which even included a stint at Wieden+Kennedy stateside, working on brands like Nike — but also, more recently, about working as an in-house Global Creative Lead client-side. We cover the differences and similarities in working as a creative leader on either side of the fence — and chat, of course, about A.I., and whether clients may take more creative work in-house over the coming years. Ever wondered what it's like working as a creative in-house?
