    Welcome to the table: Fashion as Diplomacy

    In today's episode I get to sit down with the delightful Nesli Danisman, the co-founder and principal at Angora Group. We talk about what it means to start a brand from scratch, the importance of finding the right partners and that relationships are everything.  We talk about what she learned from her diplomat father and how she crafted her life to be different than what was expected of her.  She is smart and worldly and kind and so funny and I hope you love hearing her story.  I am so happy you are here.xxJo Find Nesli at:https://www.angoragroup.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ndanisman/https://www.instagram.com/angoragroup/ Eat My Words Instagram: Eat My Words TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eatmywordsthepodcast?lang=en  Eat My Words Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@EatMyWordsthePodcastEat My Words Website: https://www.eatmywordsthepodcast.com

    Today we are revisiting my conversation with Kyle Andrew. Kyle Andrew joins us today to talk career evolution.

    Welcome to the Table: Hannah Rosenberg

    I discovered my guest, Hannah Rosenberg's work about a year ago and it felt so close to my own feelings.  She was able to capture how I was feeling about so many things- motherhood, female friendships, conversations over a dinner table that I could never articulate as beautifully or as succinctly as she does.  Hannah is a poet for these modern times and is a true light of a human.  On today's episode we talk motherhood, creativity, dreams and looking at our lives in chapters.  I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!I am so happy you are here! xxJo Find Hannah at: https://www.hannahrowrites.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahrowrites/ Eat My Words Instagram: Eat My Words TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eatmywordsthepodcast?lang=en  Eat My Words Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@EatMyWordsthePodcastEat My Words Website: https://www.eatmywordsthepodcast.com
