| From Catwalks to Content: Ruth Crilly on Pivots & Perfecting the Hustle | 07 Feb 2025 | 00:31:21 | |
What happens when you take a model, add a beauty blog, sprinkle in some influencer know-how and top it off with a book deal? You get Ruth Crilly, an OG beauty blogger, content queen and author of How Not to Be a Supermodel. In this episode Patz sits down with Ruth to chat about her journey from modelling to writing, the art of personal branding, and why knowing your limits is just as important as chasing new ventures. Spoiler: Ruth once launched an app and learned the hard way that diversifying isn’t always the answer! Ruth started blogging as a creative outlet while modelling and working on her MA in creative writing. Little did she know, A Model Recommends would explode, turning her into one of the UK’s most trusted beauty voices. Writing a book? That was always the goal. But juggling content creation, brand partnerships and social media made it nearly impossible until Ruth realised she had to hit pause on everything else to get it done. Lesson learned? Multitasking is overrated. Ruth shares golden nuggets on managing brand consistency, why casually polling Instagram followers asking for feedback is a game-changer and how sometimes, just focusing on one thing (yes, just one!) can be the ultimate productivity hack. Plus, there’s a hilarious game of Beauty Bestseller or Back to the Drawing Board, where we almost launched a lipstick line, a bath oil that reads your mood, and a book-themed eyeshadow palette. (Still waiting on that Dragons' Den pitch...) If you’re a content creator, entrepreneur, or beauty enthusiast trying to navigate the ever-changing digital landscape, this episode is a must-listen. Packed with humour, wisdom, and a few “oh, that was a bad idea” moments, Ruth proves that reinvention is all about adaptability.

| Power Brows, Permanent Beauty & PR That Sticks | 24 Oct 2025 | 00:34:31 | |
When you think of game-changing beauty brands, HD Brows, Nouveau Lashes and Karen Betts Professional, there’s one name behind them all: Karen Betts.

Karen shared the PR moment that changed everything, appearing on the Katie Piper: My Beautiful Face documentary, which opened the nation’s eyes to the power of permanent makeup. “People realised it wasn’t block brows anymore, it was delicate artistry that gave people confidence back,” she recalls. From there, Karen became the go-to expert for life-changing treatments, working with Extreme Makeover, 10 Years Younger and even helping clients with alopecia and breast cancer reclaim confidence through her pioneering techniques. Karen also dropped some unforgettable celebrity moments: ✨ Katie Price bringing a TV crew into her training academy (the phones didn’t stop ringing after that one). ✨ Amy Childs launching her salon with Nouveau Lashes on TOWIE. ✨ Michelle Keegan becoming the face of LVL Lashes, cementing the brand’s cult status.

| Jewels, Genius & Going Viral | 10 Oct 2025 | 00:26:08 | |
If you’ve ever wondered how your fave celebs end up wearing that necklace or that face tool before it’s even hit your feed… then this episode is your front-row seat to brand-building magic. On this week’s PR LIKE A BOSS!, Patz is joined by Andraya Kenton, founder of Celeste Starre, MeMe London, and the newest beauty baby on the block, Luna Roca. We talked about how she’s turned her jewellery into red carpet regulars (hi J.Lo, Gigi, Blake & co), how her latest product, the volcanic-powered Rock & Roller blew up on Forbes and TikTok and why she believes true luxury in 2025 is all about being cool, credible and convenient. From celeb seeding strategies to why the best PR starts with product obsession, Andraya shares the real behind-the-scenes of building buzz without blowing the budget. And yes… we played a little game called Pitch It or Pack It, where Andraya had to decide whether "Crystal-charged press-on nails for manifestation" were a beauty boom or brand bust. 👀 Listen now if you want to:
