How do you create Work That Feeds You while balancing the challenges of running a business and staying true to your purpose and values?

In this episode, Sangeetha Mahadevan, Managing Partner, Omnicom Media, interviews Collette Philip, Founder of Brand by Me, exploring what it truly means to build and sustain work that feeds you emotionally, ethically, and mentally. This episode also highlights that while work that feeds you is rooted in driving meaningful impact, it must equally empower you to financially build the life you want for yourself and your family.
