This week on Managed, Hannah sits down with drag sensation Elektra Fence as we pull back the curtain on the what it looks like to be a successful drag queen. From the viral origin story of her name to her time on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Elektra pulls no punches. She’s covering the business behind being a drag queen, the physical demands (including the surprising art of the "tuck”), and the importance of using your platform for good.

Beyond the stage, they dive into the collaborative versus competitive nature of the drag scene, the vital importance of year-round allyship, and why "Rainbow Washing" simply isn't enough for the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you are an aspiring queen or just curious about the queen behind the leopard print, this episode is for you.

This week on Managed, Hannah is breaking down the experience of taking her team to Cannes Lions, giving an honest look at what it’s like to at the marketing world’s biggest event. Contrary to the very glamorous image you'll see on LinkedIn, Hannah's sharing the logistical realities, from the intense heat and 30k step count, to the need for intense pre-planning and booking accommodation a year in advance. She gets real about the costs, the competition, and the chaotic, "Coachella for corporates" atmosphere that makes Cannes both an exhausting and essential experience for anyone in talent management.

Joined by her Head of New Talent, Tom, this episode also covers the highs and lows of the trip, including the surreal moments of bumping into industry icons and the funny stories that only a week of non-stop networking could produce. They dive into their favourite talks, the valuable lessons learned from industry leaders like Mel Robbins, and provide practical, been-there-done-that advice for anyone hoping to make the most of their own Cannes experience.
