Daisy’s inspiring quote:

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

– Calvin Coolidge

#17: Ange Wilson Part TWO

In this pair of episodes I have a right old natter with my Aussie pal Ange Wilson. We talk about so many things, from copying and stealing patterns, to pondering if standardizing pattern writing is possible, to the privilege of having support while you run your business, to how our accents change when we talk to each other! It’s a peek into what happens when we have a catch up, so we split it in TWO
