Starting a business with Anna Shillinglaw

Welcome to ep 2, season 2 of What They Don't Tell You About!This week we have the wonder-woman that is Anna Shillinglaw. Anna is the founder and managing director of Milk Management who are a full service agency managing Women, Men, New Faces, Curve, Digital Influencers and Artists. We talk to her on everything they don't tell you about starting a business.After a career spanning over 17 years Anna found herself feeling that there needed to be a change within the fashion industry and that diversity and inclusion needed to be introduced. Being one of the first curve models Anna knew that models were misrepresented and therefore founded MiLK in 2011 to try and change this within the fashion industry.In this podcast we discuss where it all started for Anna and where MiLK was born. We also debunk ideas like whether a background in a field is necessary to start and does starting a business mean needing a lot of investment and funds.Being signed with MilK personally for over 3 years now, Anna is like family and speaks honestly of her highs and lows with me. I couldn't of asked for a better boss lady to do this podcast with so I hope you feel as inspired as I did after listening to this!G x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Om Podcasten

“What They Don’t Tell you About” is a podcast hosted by Grace McGovern, digging into the myths of topical and current industries. Every week we invite a guest to share with us either their myths, ideas or changed understandings of a topic that they are associated or feel close to in some way, whether they be fun or serious. We look at different understandings from those within a topic to those on the outside trying to be as honest and open as possible, while hopefully changing some of the preconceived discourse that may surround it.
