152. The Spark: Gnome Taylor on Socks, Soft Skills and Saying What You Mean


Listen Later

In this bonus episode, The Spark, we welcome back Gnome Taylor, senior creative at Grey London, for a lighter, more personal chat. After Monday's powerful conversation on resilience, Gnome returns to answer some of our signature questions—giving us a glimpse of the person behind the job title.

From why kindness is the best lesson she's learned in her career, to the odd comfort she gets from even numbers, Gnome shares stories with humour and heart. We talk about the ideas she's proud of (even the ones that never made it), her unexpected Joe Pasquale impression, and why her sock drawer is so meticulously organised it includes a single, unwearable pair.

Gnome also opens up about sleep struggles, audiobook obsessions, and what she'd like to see from future male role models. Her answer? Less bravado, more empathy. This is a warm, thoughtful episode that celebrates quirks, creativity, and the quiet power of simply being kind.

This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.
