“At HERA we all work really hard, but we all do it together”

HERA, a UK fashion, and apparel brand I have been a fan of since 2018. Holly Beadle joined me on the podcast down in their head offices in Cheltenham where we discovered what it means to be a CEO of a clothing brand which is taking the industry by storm.

Diving deep into Holly’s career and origins within the fashion and clothing industry, this episode gives amazing context into what makes a CEO. Holly was one of the early adopters of GymShark as well as working with some amazing brands such as Halfords, Flannels, My Protein and now HERA.

We cover it all: culture, branding, fashion and discover how our career past can influence our career future.

Simon Alexander Ong came on the Been There Done That podcast and gave me some of the most interesting insights I have ever heard. Simon is an award-winning coach, personal development mentor and author of ‘Energize’.

On this episode, he shares lessons and wisdom about what it means to channel your energy and become the best version of yourself. We discussed his book, why he wrote it and what it means to be ‘energized’. How procrastination and failure play a significant role in all our lives and how we can manage our energy output. 

Simon has spoken at a number of international events organised by the likes of Google, the London School of Economics, Barclays UK, Virgin, O2 and many more.

This episode really got me energised and I hope you feel the energy as well.

“Aim to be 1% better every day”.  

Sitting down with two good friends to discuss the elements of what makes a successful agency and business. Myles and Bradley Jensen are more than just brothers, they are some of the hardest grafters in the room. 

This is Bradley’s second time on the podcast, sharing all the insights and marketing gems that make them successful. 

We discussed:  Culture, diversity, inclusivity within the workspace and how to stand out in the over-polluted business world. Myles and Bradley are their own USP and would recommend anyone looking for an agency to get in touch.
