Working Hard, Hardly Working

Today’s guest is someone you may remember from one of our most listened-to episodes of last year—Sarah Ashcroft. Sarah is one of the original fashion creators in the UK, and in our last episode, she took us through her  journey turning her online presence into the fashion powerhouse that was SLA The Label. But since then, a lot has changed. In Feburary this year, Sarah announced that SLA was closing. This episode is the first time she’s speaking on a podcast about that situation—what led to it, how it felt to walk away from something she built from the ground up, and what she’s learned in the months since. This is a conversation about identity, pressure, clarity, and the harsh reality of running a business in public. It’s raw, it’s reflective, and it’s going to resonate with anyone who's ever had to make a difficult decision or gone through a huge life change.I’m so grateful to Sarah for trusting us with this conversation. + SARAH ASHCROFTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahhashcroft/?hl=enYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@sarahhashcroft + 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 obviously monetarily endorsed.

It's deep dive episode time again! In this episode, we’ll break down the psychology of people-pleasing, why it happens, what science says about it, and—most importantly— I’m speaking to the amazing psychotherapist Emma Reed Turrell, all about how to manage your people pleasing traits & stop holding yourself back.

This week I sat down with the Head of Instagram & Threads, Adam Mosseri (no biggie). It was a pretty personal one for me, as I've been on this app since right at the beginning, every update, every logo, every new feature, and I even remember the moment 15 second videos came along, it felt like a whole new world. So many of us use Instagram every single day, whether that's to build a business, create incredible content or just send memes to your mate. So I knew I had to get answers from Adam on the app's evolution, what 'the algorithm' actually means, the key metrics to tracks, and who he thinks is killing it at the moment. We also had a great chat about productivity when you're in the top job, and why (in his words) 'not being great at anything' was the key to his success. I hope you enjoy listening! + CHAPTERS0:00: Introduction1:22: Working Hard or Hardly Working2:30 A typical day for Adam 4:00: Adam's non negotiables 6:00: Emails & workflows 7:00: Decisions & delegation 8:15: Getting into tech 9:34: Starting as a founder11:35: Aspirations for leadership12:12: The skills that have helped him rise 14:00: How to climb the ladder 17:34: Working with Mark 20:10: How to hone your leadership skills 23:17: How to grow on Instagram 26:24: Keeping everyone in mind with evolution 27:47: Why DMs & stories are most important 28:50: Why he builds in public 32:33: How many times you should be posting 36:00: The new edits app 37:15: The creators that are killing it 38:50: What entrepreneurs are getting wrong 40:40: The most important metric to track 41:30: Productivity non negotiables 45:15: The best piece of advice he's ever received + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/FOLLOW ADAM: https://www.instagram.com/mosseri/?hl=en + RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is obviously monetarily endorsed.

This is an expert episode absolutely packed with gold on what & when we should be eating. My guest is Professor Sarah Berry, a world-leading expert in nutritional science, Professor at King’s College London, the Chief Scientist at ZOE and the lead nutritional scientist on the PREDICT program, the world’s largest in-depth nutritional research programme.

The aim for this episode was to answer the question, as a woman, what and how should I be eating, and how we can finally move past one-size-fits-all wellness culture, something I am very behind! + CHAPTERS0:00: Introduction 1:53: Working Hard or Hardly Working? 2:49: Prof Sarah's Career Journey 5:45: Why nutritional science has overlooked women14:31: The processed food price gap18:03: How being a woman impacts your metabolism 21:24: Eating to ease menopause symptoms 23:57: The best times to be eating 32:22: Is there anyting we shouldn’t be eating?34:32: Why calorie counting doesn’t work 39:35: What keeps our microbiome healthy 41:00: What women should know about their bodies45:18: How fast eating impacts you50:33: What order you should eat your food in 52:30: The food matrix 57:30: When shouldn’t we be snacking?1:02:04: Her study on cancer in young people 1:06:25: Why 0.1% of us follow food guidelines 1:10:00: The best advice she's recieved + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + PROFESSOR SARAH BERRY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsarahberry/?hl=en ZOE: https://zoe.com/learn/sarah-berry ZOE Science & Nutrition podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/C0Nr-WDV + 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 got lots of exciting plans, including a huge giveaway (which I haven’t mentioned anywhere but here, so you’re first to know). What a full circle it was to record with Conna when we were both in LA. This is the definition of an unfiltered founder to founder chat. We really got into it.

We’re currently on a little podcast break at Working Hard, Hardly Working whilst we work on something hugely exciting which is coming very soon and I focus on opening the first ever TALA store which I still cannot believe is happening! But you know I would never leave you without inspiring content on a monday morning! So I’ve picked my absolute favourite episodes from the nearly 130 we’ve released. Today's is with the gorgeous Jemma Sbeg, host of The Psychology of Your 20s! Jemma is someone everyone in their twenties needs. Her podcast The Psychology of Your 20s, was one of the 20 most listened to podcasts in the WORLD last year, and she started it as a hobby whilst working her 80+ hour a week corporate job. I’ll be totally clear with you, my aim going into this episode was to get as much advice from Jemma as physically possible, to make it a guide to owning and understanding what is arguably the most confusing decade of our lives. We covered everything from finding your dream job, to comparison, to moving to a new city and so much more.  + JEMMA'S LINKS:The Psychology Of Your 20s: https://www.psychologyofyour20s.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatpsychologypodcast/?hl=enPersonal IG: https://www.instagram.com/jemmasbeg/?hl=en + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Not only is he an Organisational Psychologist, an OBE, a New York Times Bestselling Author, a Fellow of the Institute of Science and Technology, a Professor of Leadership, a non-executive director of an FTSE 250 company and the founder of organisational psychology consultancy APS.  He was also, more surprisingly, the first Briton to play professional basketball in the NBA league, a move which saw him leave his hometown of Stockport for the world of professional basketball aged just 18. And whilst playing, he was the first NBA player to come out as gay. Never afraid to stand up and speak out, his book made me question a lot of things I thought I knew about myself and the way I live and work.  + JOHN'S LINKS: LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/amaechiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnamaechiobe/?hl=enAPS: https://www.apsintel.com/ + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

But you know I would never leave you without inspiring content on a monday morning! So I’ve picked my absolute favourite episodes from the nearly 130 we’ve released. Today's is with the geneticist & fertility researcher Dr Helen O'Neill. Dr O’Neill is a leading expert in reproductive science, she’s a lecturer in reproductive and molecular genetics at University College London, she has a Masters in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine and a PhD in Stem Cell Biology. She is also the founder and CEO of Hertility Health, an award-winning bio-tech business specialising in fertility testing that has raised over £5 million since launch. Fertility is obviously a hugely sensitive topic, but it’s also one that we never talk about for exactly that reason. When I started this podcast, I wanted it to cover the important topics that we never get taught, and I learnt so so much from Helen that I really couldn’t believe I haven’t researched or known before. If you’re thinking about switching off right now because you find the idea of fertility testing terrifying like I do, I promise you it’s worth sticking it out and listening to this one. However, if you are someone who is currently struggling to conceive, or finds fertility conversations particularly hard, this is an episode to skip. + HELEN'S LINKS:Hertility: https://hertilityhealth.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.helenoneill/?hl=en + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

This week’s episode might be the one i’ve spent the most time thinking & planning ever. When i asked after our last compilation episode which ones you guys wanted, so many asked for a compilation of the best business advice from the over 120 episodes of this podcast. Now let me tell you that was a huge task, because when you’ve spent the last 5 years finding your favourite founders to speak to, choosing is like choosing between your dogs (or at least for me it is). So, if you have ever thought about running a business, you’ve just started one, you’ve been running one for a decade, or you’re just nosy about how to make loads of money working for yourself, you might enjoy the next hour, i really hope you do! + This episode is Sponsored by XTBDownload XTB today to start making your money work for you: https://link-pso.xtb.com/pso/tWvLH + EPISODES INCLUDEDRokeya Khanum: https://youtu.be/st_BtAbmRZo?si=z-IF9EP5FL6UgCctCass DiMicco: https://youtu.be/YYxru2JkIGc?si=vA6g-7KvmRtdcrZ1Nicola Kilner: https://youtu.be/0nrLsN6ktzU?si=c65rdkxmFNGFnXQ0Candace Nelson: https://youtu.be/IpneF5M49rc?si=Es7TViWYRhU9y31XAimee Smale: https://youtu.be/rtwMU63Q-kI?si=B-PNsdn-Sp7nAc7qJess Hunt: https://youtu.be/bBwNrQdCy-w?si=vNHJUyVOjWr3H-CMJenna Meek: https://youtu.be/fAwsQ7UqOCc?si=VNwNCNG1AbihOCD7Jordan Brompton: https://youtu.be/wL3XvRIj3ks?si=s-Xf4KjCpTpn-LtGWill Stirrup: https://youtu.be/1xg7vVGJNNI?si=ieFf69WrY-IntgLMWill Ahmed: https://youtu.be/5QCjjcUXmls?si=HiNlrOQ6pPQsaleDJen Atkin: https://youtu.be/SoUbuEwLFy8?si=0QNW9jblEqKQ6SrkDebbie Wosskow: https://youtu.be/FwZQA7GJZTY?si=QmThVYCe8noWSQmf + You can find out more about The Business Method, and use the code WORKINGHARD for you discount, here: https://productivitymethod.com/pages/the-business-method?srsltid=AfmBOorgBoplJiD4rXU6h0HYTcr9W922KXyqa3WbpvPajMVn2VJ9oYcQ + CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction & Sponsor1:10 Rokeya & Cass: starting with a Google search7:34 Nicola Kilner: constantly iterating12:39 Candace Nelson: product as marketing15:26 Aimee Smale: business models20:39 Refy's Jenna & Jess: Viral Marketing25:31 Jordan Brompton: Scaling30:40 Will Stirrup: Hiring & Glamorisation37:10 Will Ahmed: Making Key Decisions42:25 Jen Atkin: Re-strategizing46:20 Debbie Wosskow: Selling + 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.

After our New Year compilation episode about improving your life went crazy, I asked what other theme led episodes you’d like, and SO many of you said finances, money moola. So the aim for this episode, is everything you need to know about money, and I took this as a wide definition, we’re going from literally why money exists & why they can’t print more - to saving, investing, raising funds and even some deep stuff on attitudes to money & wealth. This kind of stuff is something we were never every taught in school - it’s crazy to me that I know more about algebra than I do how to save & spend my own money wisely. I hope you find it useful!

Siff Haider was fed up with the lack of problem-specific supplements on the market, had an idea that would solve the problem, spent her wedding savings on making it happen, made $1 million dollars in her first year, and has now seen the business grow 10 fold. But I’ll be honest, this isn’t just an episode about Siff’s business journey. A few months ago I became obsessed with her tiktoks on the high maintenance rules she lives by to stay low maintenance, the routines she swears by, the hot girl habits she sticks to - and so this is genuinely a case of me inviting Siff on to have a chat all about exactly that. I joked the other day in my vlog that my 2025 aim is to get hot, in all senses of the word, and if that’s something you want to do this year too - this episode is genuinely a great starting point.

We’ve done rebranding (planning for 2025), we’ve done discipline (actually sticking to your routine), and so the third and final part of the new year mini series is all about getting yourself in the right mental state to be able to achieve those new shiny goals you set for yourself. I discovered Maya a few months ago, and loved her approach to mental fitness as something we actually work on & train, compared to just talking about our ‘mental health’ as something we all have. So this episode is essentially a free session with a renowned brain coach, we did guided visualisations (permission to lol at my meditation face), she taught me how to mentally rehearse like Venus Williams & also said the best advice quote I think we’ve ever had in 122 episodes, hope you love it!  + Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/E528/gracebeverleypod+ MAYAIG: https://www.instagram.com/maya.mental.fitness/?hl=enWebsite: https://mayaraichoora.com/Visualise: Think, Feel, Perform Like the Top 1% by Maya Raichoora is published by Rider (Penguin Random House) on 27 March. + CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction3:49: Working Hard or Hardly Working?4:48: The diagnosis that changed her life aged 1510:05: How much her healing journey was her mindset13:47: The difference between mental health & mental fitness18:56: The pillars of mental fitness20:55: Why training our brain gets harder after 2522:33: How to implement it into your life24:57: The basics of visualisation27:30: Showing the power of visualisation31:25: The difference between visualisation & overthinking24:27: The second arrow parable35:56: Controlling your emotions when you're exhausted42:27: How long does it take to build confidence44:20: How to stop falling back into your old routines46:31: How to stop using your past as validation49:02: How to communicate your growth to others55:33: The best advice she's ever been given + 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.

Discipline is a weird one isn't it, the discourse is so massively dominated by podcast bros telling you to dig in, and when I googled 'books on discipline', I could barely find one by a woman. But it’s something should still speak about (even if it makes us seem podcast bro), because when we learn to harness it its hugely powerful, and actually sticking to a routine is so so much more important than creating one. The fact of the matter is that discipline is what actually keeps you going towards your goals when your new year's resolutions are crumpled in the bottom of your handbag.   If you missed the first part of our new years series with Roxie Nafousi, you can listen here: https://shows.acast.com/working-hard-hardly-working/episodes/ep-120-how-to-rebrand-your-life-in-2025-with-roxie-nafousi + Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod + CHAPTERS0:00 Intro3:14 The Context, what is discipline?6:35 The Data10:23 The Theories, how does it work?18:00 Putting it into practice + 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.

Laney Crowell is a founder I’ve wanted to speak to for such a long time, so I knew I had to pin her down on my trip to New York.  She founded beauty brand Saie in 2019 after a five year stint at Estee Lauder that made her want to disrupt the industry, and to Saie (pardon the pun)  it’s gone from strength to strength is an understatement. Laney’s career though was not an obvious entrepreneurial path - she started out on film sets, entered into the world of new york magazines, and even interviewed to be Anna Wintour’s assistant 7 times before landing what her dream role, leading social & eventually global communications for Estee Lauder. It was a big job, but she wanted even bigger, more disruptive things, which ultimately led her to Saie.  + LANEY:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laney/?hl=enSAIE: https://saiehello.com/ + 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.

Lavinia Errico is the original queen of wellness. Back in the 90s, she set up Equinox alongside her brothers. They were the pioneers of gyms that were built for young city-dwellers.

But what I really didn’t expect is how incredible her thoughts were on the importance of reinvention and transformation after something like Equinox. + LAVINIA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laviniajoy/Lavinia's Community Movejoy: https://movejoy.life/ + 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.

I couldn’t come to LA and not do an episode with a biohacker. Kayla Barnes Lentz is on a mission to live for as long as she can. She’s dedicated her life to optimising her brain health, and works to a very specific schedule to do so. She even owns her own clinic that specialises in ‘longevity medicine’. I’m so fascinated by people like Kayla, and to be totally honest, a little sceptical. But her advice on what we can take into our lives was really simple & accessible.
