The Enoughness with Melanie Rickey Rosh Mahtani of Alighieri: Unlocking Courage, the Power of Heirlooms, and Rule-Breaking for Success
How do you call in courage in the face of paralysing fear? For Rosh Mahtani, the answer lies in Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, the centuries-old poem that fuels her cult jewellery brand, Alighieri, and recently earned her an OBE.
In this conversation, Rosh explains how the timeless (and sometimes cheeky) lessons hidden in the text inspired her to rip up the rule book and transform career confusion to creative success. Her designs have become symbols of courage, strength and belonging for a devoted community, including members of The Lion Club—Marcus Rashford, Dina Asher-Smith, and Iris Law, to name a few.
Rosh and Melanie talk about the sentence that started it all: “In the middle of the journey of life, I found myself lost in a dark wood, unsure of the right path.” They unpack the importance of being playful while learning, and how the endless pursuit of more unlocked a wildly successful brand, and then inspired charitable giving.
Plus, why what “more” looks like for her today is wildly different.
