080 Ally Owen: Managing Overwhelm and the Ability to Keep Moving Forward
Show Notes

In this week’s episode I speak to Ally Owen, Founder of Brixton Finishing School.

Join us as we discuss the barriers and challenges we all face and why it’s so important that we learn to embrace these challenges and walk with them instead of letting them hold us back from the success we deserve.

Ally also delves into why we need to stop running from our anger and instead learn to harness it. When you feel great anger, it is telling you something and it can actually be used as a powerful resource that can be a catalyst for success.

Key takeaways include:

  • The importance of self-forgiveness and why you need it in order to let go and keep moving forward
  • The crisis we are facing in the world right now and how it’s causing companies to cut back on areas that are proven to help them grow
  • The power of running your life with military precision for success
  • Great leadership is all about understanding how you work and the impact you have on those around you


Ally Owen founded Brixton Finishing School due to the need to create a diverse and equitable talent blueprint for our industry. Its award-winning family of programs finds, trains, and places structurally excluded’ talent in roles across marketing, advertising and communications ecosystem.
