Welcome back everyone to the 10th episode of the podcast. It's a gift to have you tuning back in for some meaningful conversations with great and wise minds.  This show was reflective of that - we had the privilege of speaking with Valentin Ozich; Founder and creative director of New Zealand fashion label, I Love Ugly. We get to talk about the inception of the brand, his genesis and how he become drawn to creativity and art. We talk about what it takes to build a clothing business, the mindset required, the constant adaptation needed and the approach to changing perspectives in times of threat. This alongside mental resilience, his bought with depression, approaching diet and lifestyle to combat mental low's and plenty more. This conversation truly brought incredible learnings and gives us some necessary tools as we navigate our ever-changing journey of life. This journey isn't meant to be easy, we aren't meant to have it all served on a platter. It's ingrained in our genetics to move towards that which gives us life, nourishment and meaning.  If you wish to find out more from Valentin and I Love Ugly, links are below.
