  • #6 Olivia Rubin: ‘The fashion industry asks for more and more’
    Olivia Rubin is a celebrated British fashion designer known for her vibrant, feminine and joyful designs. Reviving her eponymous brand as a mum of two in 2018, Olivia rocketed to success. Within a year, the brand was stocked in Selfridges and Saks New York. Within three she had a store on Marylebone High Street and was presenting at London Fashion. Then there was a kids collection and collaborations with Elemis, sofa.com, Liberty and more. Her signature rainbow patterns and commitment to creating inclusive, size-diverse collections made her a favourite among celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike. But in the last year, Olivia has decided to slow down - on the unsustainable pace of seasonal collections, on scaling so big she loses control and in her busy personal life too. In this episode we cover: How regaining control increases your enjoyment Celebrating the small winsAllowing space for yourself postpartum Finding the joy in dressing Mentions:Miuccia Prada’s 90s shows One of Olivia’s many posts that I reference on slowing down:  ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/DCHkY6iMEGH/?img_index=1⁠Links: https://oliviarubinlondon.com https://www.instagram.com/oliviarubin/

  • #5 Solomon Oyemade: ‘Do You Mind If I Sit Here?’
    Solomon Oyemade was a Location Manager and connector in East London whose curiosity and intuition took him to Sweden where he ran the kitchen in an African Drum School for 9 months and started to find his place at the intersection of creativity and social impact. After house-sitting in Costa Rica, California, Mexico, Portugal and Spain he nomadically built Curated Funding, an online library that gives creatives and social entrepreneurs access to an archive of active awards, grants, and funding initiatives. Solomon is currently the Special Projects Manager at Shoreditch Arts Club - programming events that celebrate diversity and grassroots creativity. Solomon’s journey is not the typical one which is why his perspectives and stories are so refreshing. In this episode we cover:  Using your phone as a mailbox  Anchors rather than titles  Monastic experiences and being alone  Being an experimenter  Grief as a great equalizer  What pervasive belief are you railing against today?
