How Sophie Tea Turned Her Passion Into A Viral Phenomenon

Description

Today’s guest is someone I’ve wanted to have on for so long, Sophie Tea. If you’ve been anywhere near Instagram or TikTok in the last few years, you’ll know Sophie’s bold and colourful art, which she’s shared with her millions of followers and sells out around the world. What I love most about Sophie is that she didn’t take the safe path. She didn’t go to art school, she was snubbed by the art world, and yet now she has one of the biggest art empires in the UK.
