Harriet JW dreamed of scoring goals, but life had other plans. At 16, she spent two weeks in a coma—was it because she was in doing something she should, or a misfortunate accident? Waking up felt like a scene from a movie, a white room, with "Mad World" from Donnie Darko playing in the background, leaving her wondering what had happened. Harriet wears many hats, evolving from a party animal to someone who does things her own way and wants to have a real impact to artist today. She's worked with incredible artists like Bastille, Kacey Musgraves, The Lumineers, and Ed Sheeran, building the Secret Sessions YouTube channel and hosting music events at places like Hospital Club and Soho Farmhouse. When COVID-19 hit, her business pivoted to artist development, helping new talents build their music as a business. Harriet continued to face new challenge's with her wife's and her IVF journey. The couple endured 7-9 cycles of failed treatments, a time when Harriet felt completely out of control. There's a curiosity in Harriet's journey, and I feel like there's more to her story. Perhaps she'll join us again to share more in the future. From being the life of the party to someone who you would find in the corner of the room in deep conversations equally makes the listener curious. With a background in filmmaking from St Martins and a fine art video pathway, she embraced YouTube early on. Music and visuals have always been her way of connecting with people, evoking emotions and interaction. She talks about the "achievement trap" always striving for the next big thing.Tune in to hear Harriet's incredible journey of resilience, transformation, and relentless curiosity.

After many abortive attempts we finally came together last Friday night to get the update on the stewarding from Carlos. We then went through some questions from X/Twitter including club culture, Top Gear, Spice Girls and Wind in the Willows. What actuallyis Mileta Rajovic? Fry Days and Ultimate Fighting Chickens, Yellow Brick Road, murals, mosaics and fan zones, commemorating the Hospital/Club partnership during the pandemic, Hamer vs Bachmann vs the Captains armband, Badly Drawn Watford, Hornet Haikus and generally having a laugh, plus have we moved forward, back or stood still (according to Pete its a rollercoaster that does all and none of the above) Finally the tale of woe that was us trying to come together to record this nonsense that was hindered, we suspect, by some of the 597 years remaining of the Nigerian curse including Carl sitting in the dark!!COYH!This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

It's been a long time coming, this in-person get-together of the three SmallDataForagers (I assume that's what you call someone moderating a forum?) to celebrate our Golden Jubilee. 1,955 days, in fact, since our fateful first encounter in the now sadly defunct Hospital Club in Soho. And nearly 650 days since our last Olivelli feast, just before Christmas 2019, when the world was a different, less pandemic place. That is of course all small fry compared with the 5,788 days that Angela Merkel has held the office of German Bundeskanzler. More of her and German politics later.    So, a long time coming, and well worth the wait: great company, inspiring conversations – the three of us don't just have now 50 SDF episodes to reminisce over, but also a shared professional history of one time (Sam, Thomas) and other (Neville) working in the London office of what is now Real Chemistry, a power house of digital analytics alchemy driven business insights in life sciences. As rebranding is such a thing, and in light of our professional interests (not least Sam's second book), perhaps we should start calling ourselves the SmallDataBigInsightsForum? Demonstrating resilient continuity in the face of pandemic disruption, we also reconvened at the Picturehouse Central members bar high above Piccadilly for one of those rare occasions, a live in-person podcast recording.

Hello and here we are at episode 22 of my behind the MUSIC business podcast. This week is a conversation with Music Supervisor and all round music in media Guru Ru Hollier. I met with Ru last year in the Hospital Club in London for a chat about all things sync and music in film and it was a really interesting chat. I know Ru from his time at Imagem Music (Now Concord Music) but last year he set up this new business ‘Redfive’ and things have been going from strength to strength ever since.  Since the interview, Redfive Creative has supervised numerous films, including the Oscar-nominated Glenn Close film “The Wife” and the double Bafta-nominated feature doc “McQueen”, scored by Michael Nyman. Current projects include the new Ron Perlman western “Hell on the Border”, a new feature documentary on the GTA franchise, and the new Michael Winterbottom film.  Their new VR installation project with Conservation International and Phillipe Cousteau is set to premiere at Tribeca later this month, featuring bespoke music from an electronic scene giant (watch this space..) Redfive now has a JV with the Atlantic Screen Group, plugging directly into their score funding model and helping advise and audit music fulfilment budgets. With their 2019 slate set to reach over double figures, the team also has vast expansion plans for the near future, with eyes on furthering their wider production roles and movement into the original content space with the inception of Redfive Films.  Find Red Five at http://www.red-fivecreative.com or on Instagram at www.instagram.com/redfive_creative (https://www.instagram.com/redfive_creative/.)  and Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/redfivecreativeagency As always thanks again for checking out my little podcast, it means a great deal that you do.

In this episode we are joined by the charismatic Greg Mangham. Founder and Chief Executive of an inspiring new charity called “Only A Pavement Away”, Greg has a wonderful way with words. He tells, with great humour, the story of his rise through the ranks of the hospitality and leisure industry. "If you could drink it or bet on it, I was there” is the phrase he uses to describe the early part of his career. That was all before walking through The Strand in London one night with his wife, Gill and a throwaway comment regarding the number of homeless people sleeping on the street on the pavement around them. Not lost on the fact that the hospitality sector that he knows and loves has a massive shortage of workers and seeing the people around him without a home, without a job and without hope, Greg immediately put an idea into action to help people off the streets and into employment in hospitality. The idea grew wings and after gaining the early support of some key movers and shakers, Only A Pavement Away was born. Greg has since sacrificed and closed down his successful consulting practice and Gill has given up most of the space on her dining room(!) to make room for this inspirational movement that had its inaugural conference at The Hospital Club in March 2019. Sit back, relax and be inspired by this amazing story that continues to grow by the day. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Digital knitwear designer,Diagnostic radiographer within the NHS,Material scientist producing biodegradable materials,Co-director of Brooke Roberts Innovation Agency (BRIA),FashionTech writer for the Huffington Post,KPMG's Shift 100 list for retail technology entrepreneurs in 2017,The Hospital Club 100 list of the most influential and innovative creatives in the UK, It’s hard to believe that this list of titles and achievements could belong to one person. However it can only belong to one person, and that’s Brooke Roberts-Islam. Cross-discipline, multiple job roles, the Muti-Hyphen Method (as Emma Gannon describes it), is something that most of us can relate to. Brooke flows quite naturally between extremely diverse roles, such as radiographer and knitwear designer. It’s this blend of skills that makes Brooke so unique and incredibly interesting to discuss the fashion landscape with. Finding that traditional fashion media didn’t quite get her projects, Brooke created a space for discussions around fashion, technology and cross-discipline innovation to take place. Pioneering FashionTech long before others caught up and wanted a piece of the action. Not only has Brooke created an outlet for her company’s projects, she has opened up the discussion encouraging new ways of thinking. Through her frustration she has created a way for others to be understood and flourish. The projects that Brooke conceived through the innovation agency - BRIA - she co-founded with her husband, Moin Roberts-Islam, are incredible on so many levels, see two diverse examples below. Slave/Master an amazing installation shown at the V&A during London Design Festival explored the "borders" around human/robot interaction, reversing the traditional “fear” portrayed in sci-fi films of robots oppressing and interfering with humans. BRIA and SABINNA collaborated to transform a fashion capsule collection of wardrobe “staples” into new 100% biodegradable materials for use in garment packaging and shop interiors. By developing innovative processes for transforming garments into new biodegradable materials, they successfully demonstrated that without compromising on design, it is possible for brands to create commercial fashion that is circular and that never needs to go into landfill, with the potential to avoid millions of tonnes of garment landfill waste every year. W The way Brooke approaches her work, with no barriers, through exploration to innovation is something we can all learn from. Sometimes we are searching so hard to find the right direction or solution to our business or design problems and coming to a dead end because we are expecting the solution to look a certain way. But by giving ourselves the space to be free, take time out to explore and remember what it’s like to free of preconceived ideas, perhaps with a fresh childlike naivety, we may well be blown away by what we are capable of. www.brinnovationagency.comwww.blackneondigital.com
