Helping people in Fashion doesn't always pay

Cozette McCreery delves into the nuances of altruism in the fashion industry. She shares her personal experiences and the lessons she has learned about the value of her connections and friendships, revealing how they are a commodity in an industry that often doesn't value them.
Cozette reflects on the common practice of unpaid internships and collaborations, where compensation might come in the form of clothing or store credits rather than monetary payment. She candidly discusses the challenges of recognising the worth of her extensive network and the skill involved in facilitating collaborations. It was through her work with sportspeople and musicians that Cozette realised the importance of being compensated for her introductions and networking efforts.
Cozette opens up about her journey to understanding the value of her address book and the importance of earning a living from her expertise in connecting people. This episode is a must-watch for anyone navigating the complexities of compensation and recognition in the creative industries.
