S2 E4: Building a property portfolio & making more money with Nicole Bremner

What do your clothes actually say about you?Samantha Harman - founder of The Style Editor, personal stylist, visual brand strategist, author of Just Get Dressed, and the first female editor of the Bucks Free Press in its 160-year history - has spent her career shaping how people are seen. But behind the expert exterior is a woman who once cried in a changing room, hated how she looked, and whose wardrobe was, in her own words, “weaponised against her.”In this honest, fiery conversation, Sabrina sits down with Samantha to talk about what it’s really like to be a visible woman online, the psychology behind why clothing matters more than you think, and the motherhood penalty they’re both navigating in real time.Show Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

Video SummaryJack Frimston and Zac Thompson have been best friends since they were 15. They’ve lived together, travelled the world together, and now run We Have A Meeting - a B2B sales agency they proudly bill as the UK’s second best. One started it with a fourth baby on the way and a month’s wages in the bank. The other quit a cruise ship singing career to join him.

Christina Minshull spent 15 years on the corporate side - leading brand and social teams at EY, LinkedIn and WestJet, winning a Cannes award along the way - before founding The Brand Audit, a personal brand strategy agency for CEOs and executives. And she might be the only person running one who actually comes from a marketing background.

Description Lawrie Philpott spent thirty years inside PwC before founding his own leadership consultancy, Philpott Black. In this episode we go through the actual jobs behind that CV: consulting assignments in Kuwait during Ramadan, Liberia, Nigeria, Kenya and Sudan, leading a flood control strategy for Bangkok, and a trip to the high Arctic that dropped to minus 76 with wind chill, all in the name of writing a better report. We get into what actually separates someone who can do great work from someone who can also sell it, why "working in the organisation" and "working on the organisation" are two different jobs that most leadership teams only do one of, what a board is actually for versus what it's become, and the point at which a growing business genuinely needs one. Lawrie also gives his honest answer on the biggest bullshit in consulting: senior people showing up to win the pitch, then disappearing the moment the work starts. If you're building a leadership team, thinking about your first board, or trying to work out why some client relationships last twenty five years and others don't, this one's for you.
