Today’s guest and I have lived parallel-ish lives. Growing up “ordinary” her in the north, me in the south, Grace Dent and I both spent our childhood eating baked beans, angel delight and funny coloured school custard, we both “thought we were IT” apparently and we both got our first break on the weekly real life magazine, Chat and somehow wangled …

Breaking Free From the Authority Problem 58:29

4h ago58:29

58:29

Are you someone who grates at being told what to do? We're all like this to some degree and, if we have a problem with human authorities, how much more will we have a problem with God's authority! For by creating us, God essentially told us what we ARE, which is far more basic than telling us what to do. As an attempted solution, we often push God …

This time, do you have a marketing missing link? A gap between the content you're sharing and the number of people buying into your brilliant thing? I did, until I did emails (and this podcast!).

Before I got to know today’s guest, Stacey Duguid, I thought she was a bit scary TBH. Fierce in all the ways. And then I got to know her - when I was editor of Red and she worked on Elle - and discovered she wasn’t. At all. Because Stacey, like so many of us, is just exceptionally good at putting on a front. And that front served her well, until it…
