Working Hard, Hardly Working

Jade Holland Cooper founded Holland Cooper in 2008 with the ambition to bring luxurious British heritage to a modern audience. What began as a small collection of tailored tweed clothing that she sold on a stand at horse shows, has grown into a global brand that now turns over £40m a year. I wanted this episode to be a deep dive into her journey—how she went from country fairs to building an empire, the key inflection points, and what it is about her that’s given her such a mindset for success & viral product creation.

I am very excited for today’s episode as it’s with the brilliant Cass DiMicco, one of the most stylish women online & founder of one of my favourite jewellery brands, Aureum, that she built to 7 figures in its first year.Cass began her career as a fashion buyer for one of America’s Oldest department stores, whilst spending her free time posting her outfits on her blog & instagram, fast forward over a decade later, and she’s renowned for her timeless personal style, which feeds into the brand she’s built at Aureum too. +Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+CASS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cassdimicco/?hl=enAureum: https://aureumcollective.com/+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.

Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions of childhood abuse With a combined following of over 9 million, Louise Pentland really is one of the OG content creators. Originally growing through her blog titled Sprinkle of Glitter, and youtube channel of the same name that followed, she was part of the original ‘brit crew’ of youtubers that took the UK scene by storm in the 2010s. She met the Pope, Kim Kardashian and has 4 sunday times bestelling books.But behind the glamour and newfound fame, she was dealing with a divorce and parenting a young child.Louise was so open in this episode, we really covered 1000 topics. She was frank and honest about her career, her relationships, the minefield of parenting online, managing her finances, finding new opportunities and her approach to content.+LOUISE:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louisepentland/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@louisepentland?lang=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Louisepentland+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.

Laney Crowell is a founder I’ve wanted to speak to for such a long time, so I knew I had to pin her down on my trip to New York. She founded beauty brand Saie in 2019 after a five year stint at Estee Lauder that made her want to disrupt the industry, and to Saie (pardon the pun)  it’s gone from strength to strength is an understatement. Laney’s career though was not an obvious entrepreneurial path - she started out on film sets, entered into the world of new york magazines, and even interviewed to be Anna Wintour’s assistant 7 times before landing what her dream role, leading social & eventually global communications for Estee Lauder. It was a big job, but she wanted even bigger, more disruptive things, which ultimately led her to Saie. +LANEY:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laney/?hl=enSAIE: https://saiehello.com/ +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.

Today we’re talking about how to become more confident. I really believe that confidence might just be the key to happiness, whether it’s in your career, your personal relationships, or even just how you talk to yourself. And understanding the root cause has shown me that confidence is something you can learn, it’s like any skill. And if there’s one thing I love - it’s learning skills. So i’m excited to break it down.+READING LISTI owe a huge amount to the writers & podcasters below whose work I researched for this episode!Mel Robbins on Confidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZn2Q4IU53kAmy Cuddy on Body Language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks-_Mh1QhMcFor the original confidence-competence research: Stajkovic, A.

Lavinia Errico is the original queen of wellness. Back in the 90s, she set up Equinox alongside her brothers. They were the pioneers of gyms that were built for young city-dwellers. Their business was at the heart of the rise of the wellness boom and Lavinia’s story is incredible. But what I really didn’t expect is how incredible her thoughts were on the importance of reinvention and transformation after something like Equinox. +LAVINIA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laviniajoy/Lavinia's Community Movejoy: https://movejoy.life/ +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.
