  • Ep. 139 [Exclusive] Sarah Ashcroft Reveals The Real Reason Why SLA Closed
    Today’s guest is someone you may remember from one of our most listened-to episodes of last year—Sarah Ashcroft. Sarah is one of the original fashion creators in the UK, and in our last episode, she took us through her journey turning her online presence into the fashion powerhouse that was SLA The Label.But since then, a lot has changed.In Feburary this year, Sarah announced that SLA was closing. This episode is the first time she’s speaking on a podcast about that situation—what led to it, how it felt to walk away from something she built from the ground up, and what she’s learned in the months since.This is a conversation about identity, pressure, clarity, and the harsh reality of running a business in public. It’s raw, it’s reflective, and it’s going to resonate with anyone who's ever had to make a difficult decision or gone through a huge life change.I’m so grateful to Sarah for trusting us with this conversation. +SARAH ASHCROFTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahhashcroft/?hl=enYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@sarahhashcroft +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is obviously monetarily endorsed.

  • Ep. 137 Adam Mosseri: What The Head of Instagram Really Thinks About Growth Hacks, Algorithms and Creation
    This week I sat down with the Head of Instagram & Threads, Adam Mosseri (no biggie).It was a pretty personal one for me, as I've been on this app since right at the beginning, every update, every logo, every new feature, and I even remember the moment 15 second videos came along, it felt like a whole new world.So many of us use Instagram every single day, whether that's to build a business, create incredible content or just send memes to your mate. So I knew I had to get answers from Adam on the app's evolution, what 'the algorithm' actually means, the key metrics to tracks, and who he thinks is killing it at the moment.We also had a great chat about productivity when you're in the top job, and why (in his words) 'not being great at anything' was the key to his success. I hope you enjoy listening! +CHAPTERS0:00: Introduction1:22: Working Hard or Hardly Working2:30 A typical day for Adam 4:00: Adam's non negotiables 6:00: Emails & workflows 7:00: Decisions & delegation 8:15: Getting into tech 9:34: Starting as a founder11:35: Aspirations for leadership12:12: The skills that have helped him rise 14:00: How to climb the ladder 17:34: Working with Mark 20:10: How to hone your leadership skills 23:17: How to grow on Instagram 26:24: Keeping everyone in mind with evolution 27:47: Why DMs & stories are most important 28:50: Why he builds in public 32:33: How many times you should be posting 36:00: The new edits app 37:15: The creators that are killing it 38:50: What entrepreneurs are getting wrong 40:40: The most important metric to track 41:30: Productivity non negotiables 45:15: The best piece of advice he's ever received +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/FOLLOW ADAM: https://www.instagram.com/mosseri/?hl=en +RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is obviously monetarily endorsed.
