In this episode, Athene Parker is joined by Rani Patel, for a profoundly moving conversation about loss, leadership and the journey of self-discovery through spirituality and creativity.
Rani shares her thoughts on life and purpose, believing that creation is a spiritual act, that the business of advertising, at its best, is the art of manifesting the nebulous into matter. Together, they explore intuition, dreams and the unseen forces that guide us, as Rani reflects on the recent loss of her stepfather and the ways grief reshapes both our inner and creative worlds.
Former co-founder of Calling and now Brand and Business Partner at Creator Lab at adam&eve/TBWA, Rani is a pivotal and deeply respected voice within the network. We are honoured to welcome her singular vision, wisdom and vulnerability to the emPOWER series.
The chat is woven around a trip down a musical memory lane. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
