In this episode, Grace sits down with Daisy, a Strategic Partnerships Lead at Treatwell, to explore what it actually means to build powerful brand collaborations.

Together, they break down:
- What a strategic partnerships role really involves
- How brands collaborate (and why some partnerships fail)
- Moving from sales → marketing → partnerships
- Building relationships that drive real business growth
- Working abroad and stepping outside your comfort zone
- The importance of saying yes and figuring it out later
They also discuss the launch of Daisy’s own podcast ‘The Daisy Chain’ and why this project is so personal to her, but with a mission to help other in the same ‘lost feeling’ in their thirties.
