Episode Details

Mandy Loftus-Hills, Partnerships Director at The Local Project, joins Nick and Lauren to unpack a career that didn’t exactly follow a plan.

From starting out in a cabling company to finding her way into real estate, publishing and eventually The Local Project, Mandy reflects on the people and setbacks that shaped her along the way, including a career-defining mentor, being unexpectedly fired and navigating the “champagne and razor blades” reality of sales.

She shares what she’s learned about the loneliness of leadership, becoming a better listener, going back to your technique when the results stop coming and why honesty and clear communication remain at the heart of how she leads.
