In this episode I sat down with CEO and former influencer Grace Beverley. Grace started two companies, SHREDDY and TALA, all while studying at Oxford University. She then published the book ‘Working Hard, Hardly Working’, and is a Forbes 30 Under 30. In the conversation we chat about managing your side hustle, Grace’s journey away from being an influencer, and the best ways to build sustainable businesses. Grace also has some great advice about self-care and managing burnout which more and more of us are grappling with, whether we realise it at the time or not. Hope you enjoy!
