Working Hard, Hardly Working

This episode has been a long time coming, when I tell you I’ve been wanting to have Tash Oakley on for YEARS. She’s one of the OG influencers, but has used her platform to monetise her platform into a business that’s lasted decades, where many others have fallen by the wayside. As the co-founder of the internationally acclaimed brand Monday Swimwear, she has revolutionized the industry with her keen eye for design and deep knowledge of viral content. + TASH: IG: https://www.instagram.com/tashoakley/ Monday Swimwear: https://mondayswimwear.com/ Excessively Obsessed: https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/natasha-oakley/excessively-obsessed/9780349437927/ + 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.

We’ve had a lot of entrepreneurs on this podcast, many are in the midst of growing their company. But Ankur Nagpal has been there done that, got the millions. He’s reached the goal so many entrepreneurs work towards, selling his edu- tech company Teachable for a 9-figure sum in 2020. Ankur has ticked off so many accolades, Forbes 30u30, tens of millions of dollars in funding, and of course a large exit. But behind the accolades are more challenges than you might expect, from getting a cease and desist from Facebook, to almost being kicked out of the country. I’m so thankful to Ankur for being so open about his journey.  + ANKUR: IG: https://www.instagram.com/ankurna/?hl=en TWITTER/X: https://x.com/ankurnagpal CARRY: https://www.instagram.com/carryhq_/?hl=en + 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.

Frankie Bridge has been working since the age of 12, and before her 30th birthday she’d sold 10 million records, and had 19 UK top ten singles, both as part of S Club Juniors, and then The Saturdays. Frankie has achieved things so many would dream of, but today she told me after each career move, she felt like a failure, and that she didn’t have control over her future & career. This is an episode about reinvention, not being scared to find your feet over & over again, and having the courage to create the future you want for yourself. + FRANKIE: IG: https://www.instagram.com/frankiebridge/?hl=en-gb Faves The Edit: https://www.instagram.com/favestheedit/ + 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.

Episode 100!! We've made it!! I truly cannot believe that we’ve made it to 100 episodes, but at the same time it still feels like the beginning. I’ve said it in pretty much every episode so far, but my aim for this was always to have interesting, advice-filled conversations, with fascinating people. When I started 100 episodes ago, I was frustrated that “life improvement” podcasts were either just positioned as health, or productivity, and how in fact it really stretches so much further than that. Whether you’ve listened to one episode, or one hundred, I can’t thank you enough for being part of the journey - this podcast has always been guided by what you want to learn & improve on, so never stop sending ideas and making this podcast alongside me! I’m so grateful and we have huge huge plans for the future so here’s to the next 100! + EPISODES FEATURED: John Amaechi: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-76-why-youre-struggling-with-motivation-and-how-to-fix-it-with-john-amaechi-obe?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9 Kate Moyle: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7cKOEHSsMRuMaWa1o7meB1?si=5ec2e4302923466d Vivian Tu: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-86-how-to-change-your-relationship-with-your-finances-forever-with-vivian-tu?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9 Sharmadean Reid: https://open.spotify.com/episode/73UnPKyTbpBE7yXkBePMN5?si=8386e477267d41f6 Jason Fox: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1wwipdm3cQLxDYihB6gD54?si=2f29bbee42424d3e Ben Gallagher: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Qp021I7ZW2SAXTHGmi8jj?si=fde87f36f2904810 Candace Brathwaite: https://open.spotify.com/episode/73UnPKyTbpBE7yXkBePMN5?si=f669d199247e48f3 Dr Hazel Wallace: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6OGYQBxouN4fCuh5NqCX6A?si=3f9c477e6ac64dbe Will Ahmed: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-88-the-grit-it-takes-to-turn-your-idea-into-a-billion-dollar-reality-with-whoops-will-ahmed?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9 Rangan Chatterjee: gracebeverley.komi.io/podcast/ep-83-why-the-first-5-minutes-of-your-day-are-the-most-important-with-dr-rangan-chatterjee?id=f245b6bd-05de-4ecd-bf61-e116025b80e9 Caroline Hirons: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5aUFuHqdIQ6bl1lzK4kbWH?si=1547f73d78fb43e1 + 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.

Amy Lentz is a work-life fairy godmother. She’s spent years becoming an expert in HR, working for big corporates and even The White House during the Obama administration. If you have any questions at all about how to nail a job interview, how to present properly, how to manage, how to get a promotion, how to give feedback, Amy’s got the answer. The brief for this episode was every work question you’ve ever wanted answered, and I think we did a pretty good job of covering things! + HACK YOUR HR: IG: https://www.instagram.com/hackyourhr/?hl=en TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@hackyourhr?lang=en + 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.
