This is absolutely fascinating. I love how open you both are about the journey and how this collaboration has evolved for you.

Thanks Louise. That means a lot. There’s so much to say here. Even in this part I would revisit the book and be adding more/ edits but Russell was clear we are done once second edits are done so it’s been great for me to step back and know it’s excellent and done! I usually end up exhausted in my own creative process with big projects and Russell’s approach and lead has meant I haven’t. ✨📖✨

Claire, what a magnificent interview crammed with Russell wisdom!

This BTS is brilliant - the advice on dissimilar is genius. We can’t stretch beyond ourselves when we choose to partner with people too close in style. The intentional choice to partner with dissimilar can feel uncomfy (clunky, and a bit like growing pains…remember them?!) but as Russell explores the benefits are giant. Thank you for landing this crucial point.

For me these ten words are show stopping ➡️ ”we only rise to the structures we have in place”. Absolutely. Food for thought.
