Integrity is always in fashion with Phoebes Garland

The early days of Phoebes Garland’s career were like something out of The Devil Wears Prada. A fashion industry stalwart with over 25 years’ experience, Phoebes started out working in fashion advertising and publishing before launching two highly successful and respected businesses with her husband, Rob – wholesale fashion agency and consultancy Garland & Garland, and lifestyle jewellery business G&G Collective. Rob was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2014, leading Phoebes to become an ambassador for the Shake It Up Foundation. She is also an ambassador for Adopt Change, another cause that’s close to her heart – she was adopted from an orphanage in war-torn Vietnam at 10 days old. Tune in to hear us talk about her adoption story, how she built resilience as an only child, and why her family resembles a Jerry Springer episode. Phoebes’ Five in Five shout-out: Jane Cay, founder of Birdsnest. “There is something in that company that has the most beautiful ethos and integrity and kindness in the way that they deal with everybody that I just find inspirational.” Follow the Influence Unlocked podcast on Instagram@ https://www.instagram.com/influenceunlockedpodcast/ Follow Samatha Dybac on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthadybac/Check out the Influence Unlocked podcast videos on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/3fq8dJ5 Producer: Andrew Menczel http://www.piccolopodcasts.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
