Working Hard with Grace Beverley

I want to be clear about something before you listen to this episode. When I say "marry well," I don't mean marry rich or marry impressive or marry a man who looks good on paper. I mean build a relationship that genuinely makes your life better. One built on real compatibility, mutual respect, and matched effort. That goes in the direction of how you want your life to go. And that was the brief for this episode. +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: / workinghardpodcast +DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

A while back I did a video on habit theory and it kind of took on a life of its own, loads of you messaged me about it and it's still one of the most popular videos I’ve ever done. So when I heard that the expert I spoke to in that video was finally coming to the UK, I knew I needed to make a recording happen. Nir Eyal is an author and lecturer who has spent years studying what makes humans tick, how habits actually form in the brain, why we're all so distracted and what people who achieve extraordinary things actually do differently with their days.

I came across this article in Vogue a few months ago now about whether the girlboss is making a comeback, and it really got me thinking, because it feels like we all lived through this era, watched it rise, watched it fall, and not taken the time or space to examine what's behind itSo in this episode, I want to use that article to break it down and have a big old chat all about it!

I get asked all the time how to actually build a fashion brand, from roles to pricing to manufacturers, and honestly it’s something I’ve always been a bit hesitant to cover on my own because I only have my perspective from building TALA.The reality is, fashion looks quite glamorous from the outside, but behind the scenes it’s a completely different story.So I wanted to bring in someone who’s seen it across loads of brands. I’m joined by Elizabeth Stiles, a fashion consultant who’s worked across some of the biggest brands in the UK and now advises businesses on how to grow and scale.Between the two of us, we’re breaking down exactly how a fashion brand actually works.+WHERE TO FIND ELIZABETH STILESWebsite: https://www.elizabethstiles.co.uk/Elizabeth's IG: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethstilesuk/?hl=enElizabeth's podcast (which I'm on this week!) : https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-fashion-brand-clinic-podcast/id1456543176+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.
