Lot’s of laughs, honest conversations & amazing advice from Lucy in this weeks episode!
Lucy was diagnosed as a coeliac from a young age, making her parents look closely at the food she was consuming - this led her to being more mindful of what she was consuming & leading a healthy lifestyle. Lucy was introduced to Coconut oil and used it when she was working as a masseuse and saw lot’s of benefits - her Dad recognised a gap in the market and started the side hustle… Lucy Bee.
Lucy Bee sources coconut oil from around the world and is not just stocking coconut oil but a huge range of products and now stepping into the cosmetics industry. What is so inspiring is the knowledge and passion from Lucy around the importance of being a fair trade brand and most importantly giving back to the communities they work with across the world.

Tazz Gault, Founder of stateZero Labs joined us on the Girls in Movement podcast this week and this is an episode full of advice from someone who has truly hustled and found a niche that she thoroughly enjoys.
Tazz has spent the majority of her career in brand, strategy and marketing across multiple verticals for corporates, SMEs and accelerators. Previously establishing her own publishing business, she’s since been on the founding team of 3 startups, primarily focused on market entry strategy.
I love the story of StateZero Labs and what it’s trying to achieve when it comes to achieving everyday world problems through technology. StateZero Labs is a blockchain lab which sets out to find, fund and further the potential of outstanding founders. To encourage them to attack the world’s most challenging problems and exciting opportunities through advanced technology for practical use cases.

Episode 32 of the Girls In Movement Podcast....
This has to be one of my favourite podcasts recorded, such an exciting story of how our 2 guests careers have developed as well as their exciting new project called Turbans & Tales.
Amit Amin & Naroop Jhoti came together over 10 years ago to work on a project with an unsigned musician, they straight away knew that they wanted to work at photographers & directors.
Fast forward to today, and they have hustled their way to the top - working with the likes of Tinie Tempah, 50 Cent, & Jay Sean to name a few.
They fell into the Singh Project, after recognising the popularity of ‘the beard’ across London. They noticed younger guys were fashioning a beard, when actually Singh’s have been doing this for hundreds of years.
They had their first exhibition for the Singh Project in London which then expanded to New York and grew extremely popular from then. They suddenly had press coverage, investors & PR interested to take the project to the next level.
Turbans and Tales was then launched and was recently featured in The Times.
“The turban has always played a huge role in the identity of India, worn at one time by all the major faiths of the nation. It was a symbol of status and respect. Now mainly associated with the Sikh identity, our book, Turban and Tales, is built around our hugely successful Sikh Project, a collection of portraits of British and American Sikhs.
This podcast looks at their early days, some amazing success stories in the music industry & each of their favourite projects. We then discuss their new project and of course advise to our listeners!

Welcome to Episode 31 of the Girls in Movement podcast. We were joined by author and founder Anshu Kotak @buytolet loose, who has worked smart & hard to get herself to financial freedom.
She was working in a corporate role for a few years whilst saving to put a deposit down on her first buy to let property - “I of course made sacrifices, but it’s completely doable”.
She then went on to buy a few more and suddenly realised her side hustle of purchasing properties was actually making her more money than her corporate day job.
“Everyone at my job, when I told them I was leaving wanted to know how I did it - so I kind of got tired of telling the same story and decided to write a book”
Anshu was #1 best seller on Amazon for her new book Buy to Let Loose, which essentially gives you tips on how to purchase your first property, what to look out for, complicated lingo made simple….and it is also accompanied with her app - which tells you how much you would need to purchase your first buy to let property or standard purchase.
Anshu gives some great tips on how to buy your first property whilst being on an average salary & some tips for young people on how to save their money and start building a investment profile from a young age.
“Spend time developing your career and academic timeline, but what’s just as important is your financial investment timeline…learn about money, learn about how to invest.”
Buy to Let Loose book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Buy-Let-Loose-Property-Corporate/dp/1911475371/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544692345&sr=8-1&keywords=buy+to+let+loose

- Go to as many business seminars & find a mentor - you can’t do a thing on your own! “
