Today we have Dior Bediako joining us in the guest chair. Dior is the founder of Pepper Your Talk and The Junior Network- fashion's first member's club for entry level professionals. Prior to building her business, Dior worked as a Press Sample Assistant at Burberry, and as much as she loved the brand and it's culture, she felt she was not able to capitalise on her potential- so she built Pepper Your Talk a phy-gital platform and community for young fashion creatives. She then launched The Junior Network where she supports entry level fashion professionals enter and level up in the industry.

Dior, also now a guest lecturer at multiple universities, speaks candidly on her own journey and shares much of what she believes to be some of the key characteristics and competencies required to cultivate a fulfilling career.

I am back with my first solo episode. COVID-19 has hit the world by a storm and since we are all uniquely different, how we process our current reality differ based on the individual. For me, productivity helps to keep me sane and in this episode I am sharing some of the things you can do to maintain momentum, if like me, you want to remain productive or feel like you need to use productivity as a coping mechanism. If you need time to process what is happening, please know that one is not better than the other- do what feels good for you.

Today, our very first guest, Chloé Watts joins us in the guest chair. Chloé is the founder of Chloé Digital, a tech support and strategic planning firm for influencers. Prior to opening her boutique tech support venture, Chloé worked with multiple agencies as a coder. When the blogging space began to erupt, she saw an opportunity to provide support to these women who would otherwise struggle and there she began a side hustle as a freelancer. Three months into her new role, she lost her job and for Chloé, she saw this as an opportunity to expand what was then a one woman team.

Now, Chloe supports hundreds of bloggers as they build their own digital empire and she has no intention to stop there. For Chloé - she hopes that her company will drive the industry and become the go-to solution that will help women build their own digital empires.
