Thank you for joining us for How To Start Up’s first panel event & first live recording of the podcast!
My name is Juliet, the host of How To Start Up & just wanted to thank you for listening & joining today too.
We’re up to over 140 eps & having closed a successful season on all things productivity in December, I wanted to gather some of our guests together to discuss the topic & help listeners with theirs.
I hope today will involve some myth busting on productivity plus that we have time for a Q&A with our panel.
Firstly, introductions.
Emily Austen is the founder of leading PR agency EMERGE & the author of SMARTER: 10 lessons for a more productive and less-stressed life. Having founded EMERGE in 2012, Emily has navigated entrepreneurship & discovered a tried and tested formula for avoiding unproductive busyness.
Eva Alexandridis is a founder who has achieved that work / life balance. Having co-founded 111SKIN in 2012 with her husband Dr Yannis, Eva has not only built a globally recognised brand but has practised the brand values in ensuring she also looks after herself as well as her business.
Anant Sharma is the Founder & CEO of Matter Of Form, a leading luxury brand & digital agency based in London. Having founded his company in 2009, Anant and his team work with some of the world’s leading brands including Aman, Belmond & Knight Frank.
