This week’s episode might be the one i’ve spent the most time thinking & planning ever. When i asked after our last compilation episode which ones you guys wanted, so many asked for a compilation of the best business advice from the over 120 episodes of this podcast.


Now let me tell you that was a huge task, because when you’ve spent the last 5 years finding your favourite founders to speak to, choosing is like choosing between your dogs (or at least for me it is).


So, if you have ever thought about running a business, you’ve just started one, you’ve been running one for a decade, or you’re just nosy about how to make loads of money working for yourself, you might enjoy the next hour, i really hope you do!

RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed. As usual, sponsorships do not change my opinions nor my honesty, but I will always disclaim to make sure motives are clear 😊

Grace Beverley hosts the Working Hard with Grace Beverley podcast, a series that moves far beyond standard productivity tips or generic business advice. Here, conversations explore the nuanced and often unconventional paths to achievement across a wide spectrum of life. You’ll hear from a diverse array of guests, including housing campaigners, seasoned investors, and sex experts, each sharing the specific challenges and insights from their unique fields. These discussions naturally avoid easy answers, instead delving into the real work, the personal philosophies, and the redefined metrics of success that drive these individuals. The podcast sits at an interesting crossroads of business, health, fitness, and self-improvement, reflecting Grace’s own multifaceted approach to work and life. Listening feels like gaining access to a series of candid, private mentorships, where the lessons learned are as much about personal resilience and perspective as they are about professional strategy. It’s a space for anyone curious about the many forms that hard work and fulfillment can take, offering stories that challenge the typical rhetoric and inspire a broader, more personal definition of what it means to truly succeed.
