December 04, 2017 #9 Ruby Raut: Good At Taboo Marketing
This week I’m joined by Ruby Raut the Founder of Wuka Wear. Wuka wear is the UK’s first-period underwear. Ruby is originally from Nepal where they practised Chhaupadi, a practice that exiled women to period huts while they were on their periods. This has lead Ruby to design and manufacture Wuka wear with no prior experience in fashion or manufacturing.
She hopes that the pants will be a part of a broader conversation, but as you’ll hear in this episode, her biggest challenge is creating a business in an industry that’s taboo. The key takeaways from this episode are finding ways to overcome taboo subjects for your brand.
How to be successful despite having a business that people won’t publicly share or endorse and how you can get one step closer to being successful.
This Week’s Support This goes to The Brixton Soup Kitchen who operate solely on donations and volunteers to provide hot lunches, a food bank and a clothes bank. You can find out more at brixtonsoupkitchen.org
Huge thank you to Ruby from Wuka Wear who is currently fundraising on Kickstarter. Donate to the campaign here. Visit wuka.co.uk to find out more about the campaign, materials and all of the lovely environmental benefits to the pants.

November 22, 2017 #6 Miss India America: Wearing A Crown of Authenticity
India is incredibly high-achieving, professing that she did not take a break from full-time education until she decided to enter the Miss India America pageant. We talk about the stigma around pageants and the brains vs. beauty argument that comes up time and time again. What stuck out about my conversation India is how important her faith is to her. She is a practising Hindu and has credited the religion (and Sathya Sai Baba Bal Vikas Education) with instilling her core values. As you'll hear, India has made some bold moves in her life and her career in order to get to where she wants to be. She shares how she developed her strong sense of self and how she is able to remove herself from uncomfortable situations.

Key takeaways:

- How to remain authentic under intense pressure.
- The importance of finding friends with good motives and ambitions.
- Utilising your faith and spirituality in your career.
- Designing a successful career path (or is it just a series of accidents?).
- How to overcome your insecurities to become who you wanna be.

In this week's episodes Georgia shares her journey with Borderline Personality Disorder and becoming a successful freelancer while still at university studying Performance and Creative Enterprise.

More importantly the power of saying 'No' to opportunities and the mental checklist that she does before deciding that a project is worth her time. Georgia's checklist:
1. What is the project.
2. Do I know the company or brand? What are her views of that brand.
3. How much times is the project going to take out of her day/week?
4. Is the job paid or not?
5. Can she add value to the project?

Georgia's routine includes:

Using a Lumie light alarm.
Writing Morning pages to get all her thoughts out on paper at least 3 times per week.
Creating a to do list/ plan for her day.
Applying makeup to feel ready.
