Summary

Ever wondered as a small business if you should share your personal views or keep it strictly business? For Rebecca Strickson she sees it as one and the same thing.

In this episode, alongside Rebecca’s personal journey to a successful artist, Holly and Rebecca explore the role that political and personal opinion play within building a brand. They also discuss the barriers facing women entering into the creative industries as well as exploring Rebecca’s own influences and driving force behind her work.
