There are a lot of conversations about the fashion industry, fast fashion, slow fashion, sustainability, the affordability, exclusion vs accessibility, conscious consumerism, what to do and what not to do. It can definitely feel and sound overwhelming at times.

On this weeks episode I’m speaking with Daisy Hutton, Founder of THE FIXX COLLECTIVE, the anti-bland sustainability brand. She is a fashion industry aficionado, that has spent many years with her finger on the pulse of fashion. Daisy shares openly about her original career path into medicine, and the somewhat stereotypical expectations that she went against as she decided to live a life doing what she truly loves vs what was culturally expected of her.

If you love fashion in any way, want to get into fashion, curious about different career roles in the fashion industry, interested in becoming an entrepreneur and/or being more sustainable with your style, this is definitely the episode for you!

Join us for this very transparent conversation. We dive into the behind the scenes and inner workings of some luxury and fast fashion brands, the way we are all strategically molded as the consumers that companies want and need us to be, so they can continue to make their numbers.

We get into the exciting and eye opening roles and functions that are a part of every piece of clothing we wear. Daisy doesn’t hold back about the experience of starting your own business, and the major impact the pandemic made on THE FIXX COLLECTIVE. Find out the significant moments that changed everything for Daisy, including her perspective on fashion and the decision to take matters into her own hands to become the mission minded and sustainable business woman she is today.

Of course I’ve always got you covered with tips and nuggets that you can apply to your very own endeavours.

There is an under-recognized and fascinating world of men who sew, men who design, and men who are quietly living out their passions. I'm diving in to bring more light to this creative, talented and tight-knit community.

Ever thought about making a big career change, stepping away from what others perceive as a safe and secure job, to go after that pull in your heart?

The courage to follow our hearts and live the life we truly desire, takes great determination and strength. At times these decisions may seem crazy, over the top, daring and extreme to others. When all is said and done, the joy life brings when we are living in our space of truth is unmatched and far outweighs the opinions of others.

With me on this weeks episode is the talented and inspirational Scorpio Uzuh, founder of the fashion brand Sins Of Many.

Join us as we talk about his major career change from a doctor to a designer, his new life, his roles in the world and community of men who sew, and the limitless joy and fulfilment that comes from following your heart and pursuing your passion... from scratch.   

Scorpio and I also speak and share honestly about the major rewards, dedication, obstacles, hard work, and the required time and sacrifice that truly goes into carefully developing and perfecting your craft and talents, while building a successful brand.
