George Esquivel started making shoes for himself and some friends, up-and-coming musicians in Southern California. Soon, Hollywood came calling. And it wasn’t just celebrities who took notice.

Join Ben and special guest host Kathleen Griffith as they speak to George about the rise of Esquivel Designs. Hear what a meeting with Anna Wintour is really like, and what happens when you’re betrayed by someone inside your company. These are The Unshakeables.

Join us as we talk all things comms, PR, and social media with Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane Media Manager - Nicole Carrington. Get some top tips on writing content that will be picked up; how to manage comms for your business - and how to protect your brand and elevate your business.
