Ep. 134 How To Trust Your Judgement & Learn To Say No With House of CB's Conna Walker

We're back!! And we've had a little spruce up.


Before I get into this description, first agenda point is: follow @workinghardpod on Instagram! We're here: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/


As part of this relaunch I wanted to create a space for everyone who listens and watches our podcast that is super inspiring & brings value to your feed. We’ve got lots of exciting plans, including a huge giveaway (which I haven’t mentioned anywhere but here, so you’re first to know).


What a full circle it was to record with Conna when we were both in LA. This is the definition of an unfiltered founder to founder chat. We really got into it. Goal setting, life plans, business growth, boundaries. I loved recording it so much, I hope you enjoy watching it too.


Also, what do we think of the new music? Let me know in the comments if you're listening on Spotify.

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.
