    SAVI Moves: Savannah Engel on Style, Strategy, and Storytelling

    PR is not for the faint of heart—it’s cliques, war rooms, and more than a few late nights. But Savannah Engel, Founder of SAVI PR, hasn’t just survived it; she’s turned the chaos into a career that’s helped define a generation of fashion marketing. From early stumbles and tough feedback to finding her rhythm, Savannah used grit, persistence, and her instinctive social wizardry to carve her path. She’s proof that what begins as “soft skills” can become the sharpest edge, transforming social grit into professional gold. Together, she and Farryn trade stories about 20-hour days, the power of your network, why hiring is about personality as much as merit, and how blurred lines between work and life can create both magic and mayhem. They’re candid about the love of career, the myth of “having it all,” and the radical self-belief it takes to keep going anyway.  TIMESTAMPS:  00:00 Casual Beginnings and Personal Reflections 09:00 Navigating Career Paths in PR and Fashion 20:01 Work Ethic and the Changing Landscape of Employment 29:59 Self-Discovery and Confidence in Professional Growth 30:50 Finding Passion in Work 32:00 The Journey of Self-Discovery 33:51 Overcoming Challenges and Insecurities 36:06 Building a Brand and Team Culture 39:06 Creativity in Marketing Strategies 42:25 The Reality of Hard Work in PR 46:02 Navigating Success as a Woman 49:15 The Complexity of Relationships and Success 54:54 Lessons Learned Through Experience 58:05 Advice for Newcomers in PR Subscribe to The Farrynheight Podcast:  YouTube SpotifyApple Podcasts Follow Farrynheight on social: Farrynheight Podcast Instagram Farryn Weiner Instagram Farrynheight Instagram Farrynheight LinkedIn Interested in raising brands?

  8. The Person Behind the Founder

    7月9日

    The Person Behind the Founder

    In this solo episode, Farryn gets personal. She is pulling back the curtain on the invisible parts of her journey: the self-doubt, the imposter syndrome, the moments you want to quit but preserve instead. This is less about answers and more about permission. Permission to struggle. Permission to lead while still figuring it out. And permission to grow: slowly, imperfectly, and honestly.  Farryn opens up about the courage it takes to lead with vulnerability, and why “being a freshman again” in your career might just be your biggest asset. She explores what it means to lead with your whole self, why culture starts from the inside out, and how the choice to work on yourself is the most powerful business decision you can make. Who you are at home, in the quiet, in the in-between—that person is running the company too. This is for the founders, the leaders, anyone building something from scratch—while rebuilding themselves in the process.
