    GRACE BEVERLEY: What I’ve Learnt From Building TALA & Overcoming Burnout

    Grace Beverley has spent the past decade building a career most people can only dream of.  At just 18, she started her first business from her university bedroom. Since then, she’s gone on to build three hugely successful companies, TALA, SHREDDY and The Productivity Method.  I was so excited to sit down with Grace for an episode of Great Company. She’s someone I’ve wanted on the show for a long time and the conversation more than lived up to my expectations.  In this episode, Grace shares:  The burnout that forced her to rethink everything How she learnt to trust herself and build businesses her own wayWhat she’s doing to break the taboo around miscarriages in the workplace Why building a village of friends matters just as much as finding love The story behind her husband’s INSANE proposal  Grace is proof that success is not just about what you build - it’s about the people who stand beside you while you’re building it.  Grace Beverley is Great Company.

    Rylan Clark: I Played the Fame Game on The X Factor | GREAT MOMENTS

    Cast your mind back to the early 2010s when paparazzi shots ruled the front pages, and reality TV was turning ordinary people into stars overnight. From Big Brother and The X Factor to TOWIE and Made in Chelsea, our generation grew up at the peak of fame culture, raised on the idea that being famous was the ultimate dream. Few people embody that era quite like Rylan Clark.  We first fell in love with Rylan when he appeared as the ‘novelty act’ on The X Factor in 2012. From there, he went on to win Celebrity Big Brother, host TV primetime shows and is now BBC Radio 2 royalty, carving out a career that most could only dream of. In this Great Moment, Rylan opens up about his lifelong fascination with fame and how playing 'the game' on The X Factor helped him make the most of the competition.   Listen to the full episode HERE!
