    Work That Feeds You : How to Build Purpose-Led Work Rooted in Values and Equity

    How do you create Work That Feeds You while balancing the challenges of running a business and staying true to your purpose and values? In this episode, Sangeetha Mahadevan, Managing Partner, Omnicom Media, interviews Collette Philip, Founder of Brand by Me, exploring what it truly means to build and sustain work that feeds you emotionally, ethically, and mentally. This episode also highlights that while work that feeds you is rooted in driving meaningful impact, it must equally empower you to financially build the life you want for yourself and your family.

This episode touches upon: ·Collette’s inspiring journey from working at large advertising agencies to founding her own purpose-driven brand consultancy, Brand by Me, followed by her clear focus on wanting to only work with brands that are doing good in the world · How not seeing a career or role for yourself is a signal to build your own and to see setbacks not as barriers, but as stepping stones to forge a path that is authentically yours ·Purpose-led work often begins with recognising gaps and having the courage to create something different ·Practical tips on how not only to build work that feeds you but also to stay consistent in doing so without draining yourself ·The need for purpose led work to also be financially thriving and allowing you to build the life you want ·Importance of regular reflection and creative outlets outside of work to keep it sustainable and personally nourishing This episode is sponsored by Spotify  and mixed by Oliver Steadman at Stone Street Productions.
